Pogge can't go to the American Hockey League because Anaheim doesn't have an affiliate team in the AHL. That is what makes me think Giguere is gone.

That means he could be assigned to any AHL team.

Not true... they do have an affiliate...

The San Antonio Rampage will be their primary affiliate with others available to them.

Sorry Shabbs. One little word makes a huge difference. The word "main" was supposed to be in there.

Thanks for catching that.

Not having a true affiliate means your prospects are at the mercy of another rival team. Having your prospects play 3rd string goalie and 5th line duties is not the way to develop them.

Yeah... the "shared" affiliate thing really hurts development as you have no control over it.
