Prospect Ramblings: Drafted too high, developed improperly or injury-related – 2014

August 31-in-31: Winnipeg Jets

Prospects Rambling: Red Wing cap hit hell hindering hot hopefuls
Andreas Athanasiou is stuck in neutral without an NHL extension because the Red Wings are over the cap limit and GM Ken Holland has yet to reach agreement on a contract with his young RFA. Just when it looked like things couldn’t worsen for the overpaid, over-the-hill and over-the-cap [...]

August 15, 2014

The biggest news of the last week is the possible reconstruction of the AHL, which could see five teams moving west and the establishment of a true western conference. You can read Travis Hughes’ guess on how things will shake out here.
With the loss of Abbotsford to New York, the two westernmost AHL teams are now Texan and still closer to Florida than California. That may soon be rectified, as a true AHL western conference could take shape through the acquisition of some ECHL teams (no that doesn’t stand for East Coast Hockey League, or anything else anymore). The ECHL would offset those losses by acquiring the remaining Central Hockey League (a league that is likely to be defunct soon anyways).
