Hunter VorvaOn this episode of The Hockey News On The 'E' Podcast with Jacob Stoller and Justin A. Cohn:
- The hosts go through the signings, transactions, new affiliations and more to find the winners, losers and "not so sure" ECHL teams during the off-season so far.
- The winners category features six teams, including the Kalamazoo Wings, which got a new NHL affiliation with the Vancouver Canucks and made some key signings.
- Four teams are losing the off-season so far, whether it's losing a coach, an affiliation or not improving as much as they should be. The back-to-back Kelly Cup champions find themselves in this category, as do the Newfoundland Growlers:
- The Toledo Walleye, Atlanta Gladiators, Wheeling Nailers and Fort Wayne Komets are neither winners nor losers at this time since there's more to figure out about them. What have they done so far, and how could they become winners? As for the Komets, they have a lack of veteran players, but what could be the reasoning behind that?
- Justin and Jacob round out the show by discussing the heavier punishments for fighting in the QMJHL and what that means for the ECHL.
