Flames didn't have any real prospects in the ECHL last season. The Heat had a collection of guys on AHL contracts they'd call up and send down, and outside of maybe Daniil Chechelev no players they considered NHL prospects.

The local Wichita Thunder also dropped their No Good affiliation this morning. They don't yet have another.

The Witchita Thunder and Greenville Swamp Rabbits are currently vacant.

Although there are 4 or 5 other NHL teams without an ECHL affiliate, so maybe the Flames go that route and just loan players out to teams as needed.

If we can't have the Savannah Ghost Pirates, we might as well have the Swamp Rabbits.

too bad Tulsa still has another year with the Ducks or else it would be cool to be attached to the Flames. I could give you all the info on random long shot prospects!

Would be really weird to have a Flames affiliate called the Oilers!
