Monsters Weekly Storylines

It's a mantra repeated every season in late February, "It's a business." This is a phrase usually used by AHL and NHL players impacted by their league's annual trading deadline and this season, several now-former Monsters will be using that very phrase when wrapping their heads around their newfound addresses. An examination of the ways in which an AHL roster can be reshaped overnight would provide an interesting look inside teams' annual pushes for the postseason and how NHL objectives can impact AHL realities.

Life on the road is one of many realities of life in the AHL and in early March, the Monsters embark on their longest road trip of the season, a two-week, seven-game jaunt through California and Texas - nearly the entirety of the AHL's Pacific Division. A breakdown of the Monsters roadie - miles traveled, hotels utilized, practice rinks and arenas traversed - would provide an interesting peek behind the curtain at the endurance required by coaches, players, and staffers to navigate a grueling AHL campaign.
