Binghamton Senators' Rumors To Move Continue To Run Rampart
Alicia Strauch - SilverSevenSensWhat a day it has been for the Binghamton Senators and it's fan-base over the course of the last 24 hours. The Ottawa Senators were reportedly, and I repeat, reportedly were on the move to re-locate their AHL affiliate from Binghamton to Belleville, Ontario, Canada.
As more and more NHL teams are following the trend to send or recall players with less travel time closer to their home base, Ottawa is no exception with a town of Belleville 2 1/2 hours away versus nearly four to the Southern Tier Region of NY. I suppose the savings of an hour and a half also meant the border crossing as a determining factor. But I still don't fully understand why.
