Too bad we can't get the other board back or find info from it. Toby had that great explanation on the contracts and how they worked. I do believe it is a 2 or even 3 way(NHL) that will help pay the players up to a certain dollar amount. Not sure about paying an affiliate and also not 100% sure on baseball either so I can't comment on that one. That figure could be used for anything from salaries to scouting help. As for no affiliate equaling fewer call-ups are Bredin and whoever is named coach going to hold a player back. Some of the worst call-ups over the last 2 seasons were not even those involving Colorado/Lake Erie or Columbus/Syracuse. As pointed out the Mayotte deal in Hershey didn't help here. Or when he got called up to Bridgeport as well, not to mention Konkle getting called up to Binghamton wasn't too great either. Some of the worst callups came from our afflicates. Sarauer and Rowe to Lake Erie, Garlock called up to Syracuse and they didn't even play him. Didn't anyone knew that we had to pay our afflicates before that article in the trib-dem was published? I didn't and i'm shocked that we have to.

Everybody pays their affiliates. It isn't a free ride for anybody. The Chiefs used to pay the travel expenses for callups and send downs when with Calgary. The Curve do pay the Pirates.

The Chiefs have had bad seasons even with affiliations but they have never had a good season without one.

The Chiefs have had bad seasons even with affiliations but they have never had a good season without one. So what. We had two afflicates last year and what did they give us, grief. Yeah they gave us good talent only to take it away from us half way through. Giving us heartache and grief due to us not making the playoffs after having such a great start. It dosen't matter if we had an afflicate or not throughout our 20 plus years in the league. We never won a championship without one and with one.
