The Charlotte Checkers (Carolina Hurricanes) might have been the most significant change to the Central Division this season as they left for the East, but the Chicago Wolves made their own news by dumping the St. Louis Blues and signing on to the be the first AHL affiliate for the Vegas Golden Knights.
While the Wolves have their contract with the Golden Knights, the Blues have been allowed to store players in the AHL with their former affiliate. Things become a bit more complicated in this situation, as Vegas will be in control over the team and will probably lean heavily on developing their own talent.
