I read the sticky at the top so can some one tell me why the Hamilton Bulldogs have Stars players like Steve Ott and Trevor Daley?

Why because Dallas has an agreement with Montreal to place their prospects on that team until the end of this season.

Next year Ott and Daley will probably move to Des Moines as Dallas owns and operates along w/ Howard Baldwin that new team which last played in Louisville, KY AS A Panthers affiliate IN 2001.

I thought Des Moines was going to go to the Flames.

Des Moines and Baldwin signed a five year agreement w/ Dallas hence why the new/transferred franchise I mentioned in my last post, slink, is called the Iowa Stars.
