These aren’t new rumors. We’ve heard inklings about the Carolina Hurricanes moving on from the Checkers for months now. The Chicago Wolves, currently the AHL affiliate of the St. Louis Blues, are the rumored next Carolina Hurricanes affiliate according to Luke DeCock of the News & Observer who quoted Don Waddel saying this:
“Nothing’s done yet, but certainly we’re looking at all of our options, Chicago is certainly one of them.”
I, personally, have not placed any value into these rumors. It makes no sense from a logistical standpoint. It also doesn’t jive well with the rest of the efforts done by the Carolina Hurricanes and actually stands opposed to it all.
