The Syracuse Crunch has confirmed to CNYCentral that the team has turned down it's affiliation agreement option with the Anaheim Ducks for next season. The move could result in the team shopping for a new NHL parent club. The Crunch now have the choice to either negotiate a new deal with the Ducks or look for a brand new affiliate.
Tampa Bay has been rumored to be a likely option for Syracuse, an organization that is currently affiliated with the AHL's Norfolk Admirals.
