settle & be in place. The AHL didn't have a Magic 8 Ball to tell them what the fallout of that would be.
Alternatively, you could say if the Knights are so incredible & the most flush organization to ever join the League (pun intended), they would have had a new AHL affiliate already lined up entering the League!
Fact is they aren't & needed to find their footing & get a start somewhere.
Enter a team being dumped by their Parent affiliate.
You can work all day & night (I'm sure you will) to create a way to blame the Blues, but not only is that not true, they have actually played this well in conjunction with the NHL!
