Pissing contest between rich men smh
Levin is such an idiot.
Rinaldi had a fantastic tweet today when Joakim Ryan was added to Chicago. Canes have brought 7 guys with a ton of experience to Chicago to mix with some interesting high value prospects like Nadeau, FUS, and Morrow.
I just don’t know what Levin could be complaining about after Chicago was talent barren last year.
I get that the relationship is forced but the complaints are just unfounded.
If there is a team coming to Greensboro, hopefully we can affiliate with them and be done with Levin. Canes might not have the best prospect pool in the league, but it’s not like they’re just being handed sacks of dog shit to work with.
Unless the NHL puts down rules about this or the standard just becomes that the NHL team and the farm teams being owned by the same parent organization I don’t see what the alternative is.
This isn’t football. We can’t depend on college and high school programs to be our farm teams for the entire league like they can.
Levin mentioned Billy Beane when talking (in a condescending fashion I might add) about Tulsky and the war room here and how the Moneyball A’s never won a championship. That’s true but they did inspire those who would. It was Beane that coined the motto “Adapt or die” in sports and that should apply here. Levin took over and had success in the past but it’s a different game than what it was when they were really successful. He refused to adapt and make compromises, leading to last season’s debacle that left them with egg on their face. Who knew it wasn’t appealing for good players to play for a minor league team located in a random Illinois suburb and not directly affiliated to a professional club with the hopes of being called up?
The key cogs of their 2022 Calder Cup championship was Jack Drury, Stefan Noesen, Jalen Chatfield, Alex Lyon, and Pyotr Kochetkov. They all became NHL regulars the seasons after and now are being payed like them. We gave them talent and their development led to success. The notion that we’re not giving them any chance to succeed is crazy, especially with the extensive depth moves we’ve made this season along with the college/Russian guys.
TLDR: Levin is either a massive hypocrite or egotistical to the point of not seeing his incompetence
Someone remind me what broke down with the charlotte checkers and canes
Dundon needs to either buy Levin out or buy the Checkers. I’m tired of this shit. The AHL will never be as important as the NHL. Levin is delusional for thinking that. The AHL is essentially the MiLB for the NHL, and it feels like it has been for 10+ years now.
Also he is complaining about not getting a winning team from Carolina prospects/players? Tf? 22-23 was it really that bad? I thought that the Carolina players got them a championship that season. They were ass last year because they went independent and came crawling back this season.
> Dundon is going to win out eventually. Levin’s franchise, in the long run, can’t exist without NHL-contracted players. Dundon knows this, and at some point I’ve heard he’d like to buy his own **NHL** franchise to simply run it the way he wants to.
I assume that’s supposed to be Dundon wants to buy his own AHL franchise?
And from what I’ve heard Chicago is just weird. Reading between the lines on some of the comments made it always sounds like the Chicago Wolves think they are too good to be an AHL team or something. They don’t like being anyone’s farm team. I think being in the same city as NHL team, and an OG 6 member at that, has given them a weird « have to prove something » mentality.
