It's said that all good things must come to an end. Friday was that day as the relationship between the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Springfield Falcons confirmed what had been rumored for weeks. With fanfare in three AHL cities, announcements were finalized for new working affiliations for the 2015-2016 AHL season.
Multi-year agreements were announced as the Blue Jackets will be moving their AHL club to Cleveland (Lake Erie). Coming into Springfield will be the Arizona Coyotes, while the Colorado Avalanche will be teaming up with the San Antonio Rampage. These changes, along with those already announced over the past few weeks will give the "A" a substantial facelift for the '15-'16 campaign.
