I've heard that Carrick wasn't officially assigned to FW, since he's not under contract to them and the Marlies and Komets don't have an affiliation.

It says right in the press release chilly posted that Fort Wayne is Toronto's new ECHL affiliate.

that wasn't a press release...it was a blog post as source. there are mixed signals as what the hell is actually going on with the "affiliation." also just because teams aren't affiliated, doesn't mean they don't have a friendly agreement to send players to an echl team (see rochester sending boychuk and the other dude to fort worth of the chl or albany assigning guys to trenton or elmira in the echl this season)
