Yes they are. ECHL teams only have loose affliations if any.

BTW Last night was NHL's first night, awesome!

Yes...it is a tough proposition. Would you rather see a winning ECHL team or a losing AHL team with players who actually have a chance of ending up in the NHL? I'm willing to give the coast a try. I've seen games in Boise and other places that were a lot of fun.

I looked at the roster for the San Antonio Rampage (Phoenix's new affiliate), and it is a lot of the former Grizz players. I wonder if they'll have as bad a year this year as the Grizz did last year. What I was thinking is that you could keep last year's roster the same, and drop the team to the ECHL, and they would probably be reasonably competitive. 🕺
