betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted July 10, 2008 However weird the name, it's an improvement over Iowa Stars. I hate when a minor league team takes the identity of its major league affiliate: name, colors, uniform, and all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris88 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2008 moving from portland to iowa? why? There not moving the team, theres still a team in Portland. They just changed affiliates. Dallas no longer has a AHL affiliate to my knowledge and Anaheim wanted a team closer then Portland so they changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dallas no longer has a AHL affiliate to my knowledge and Anaheim wanted a team closer then Portland so they changed. The Dallas affiliate is moving to the Austin area (Cedar Park to be exact) into a brand new arena being built. It's going to be a completely new team, called the Texas Stars. Speaking of an expansion team, which this team will be, how does the draft and such work? Since most of the AHL teams are populated with NHL team property, is there an expansion draft of sorts, or how will that work? I'm just really excited to be getting an AHL team, and can't wait for the 09-10 season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard Peoria is a main one. Not sure. I don't know how drafts work in the AHL. I heard Windsor was suppose to have a Arena built by next season to host a AHL team as the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks owners want to move there. Haven't heard anything in a long time though.
