The_Admiral Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 If it were a matter of selling the team for so little, they would have done it by now. The owners won't allow Count to take that kind of loss. Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOLBarbera rides again.Hard to believe that's the same Jason LaBarbera who backstopped the Hartford Wolf Pack to the Calder Cup in 2000. How the mighty have fallen.

The_Admiral Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 A thought: since we know the NHL loves squeezing Canadian owners for all they're worth, could we see Quebec's ownership pay the now-standard relocation fee to the league and a "realignment fee" directly to the Red Wings to subsidize their continuing injustice of traveling to fellow midwestern cities?

JackieMoon Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Who knows... I do love the NHL Realignment, but they should have waited another season, couldn't hurt. Like all other hockey fans, I'm sick of this. Move the damn team to Quebec already and be done with it. Again, another way of the NHL shooting themselves in the foot. Phoenix and Florida should have been dealt with before realignment was considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltere Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Florida will last a few years yet. God knows why, but someone is paying to keep that pointless thing going.

njmeadowlanders Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I'm REALLY going to miss this thread whenever something actually does come to a head one way or the other.I know there'll be another team on deck, but it just won't be the same. You can't replicate Glendale. That's the zenith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aci Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 My solution to the issue of realignment in the NHL:Move Detroit to the Central time zone.

After years of doing their best to keep the team in Glendale, the league could make a decision on relocating the franchise in advance of the Stanley Cup playoffs."It's clear time [is] running out and relocation must be considered," Dreger tweeted.The TSN analyst listed Quebec City, Seattle and Kansas City among relocation sites, none of them new options to puckheads.

IceCap Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Seattle may not even get a basketball team, and without that there's no arena deal.Kansas City has never been a solid draw for the NHL, and the arena doesn't need an anchor tenant to survive anyway. Also, no local ownership group.Quebec City has hordes of educated, passionate fans ready to plunk down hundreds of dollars each for season tickets, a local, stable ownership group, a state of the art NHL calibre arena set to open in two years, and a serviceable hockey rink that can house the team in the interim. Also Winnipeg made cash hand over fist for the league, despite being a small, seemingly insignificant (to some people) market. So why not do that again and make even more money?

People here still complain about changing to daylight savings time and even worse, are confused by it. I understand arguing the merits if anyone should have it but how can you be confused about changing you clocks an hour...I prefer eastern time but I like playing full rounds of golf after work and if we went to central, ill get like 13 in, tops...

Sodboy13 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Finally, Phoenix gets its own JB Smith.http://m.prnewswire.com/news-releases/darin-pastor-to-lead-investor-group-seeking-to-purchase-nhls-phoenix-coyotes-200607841.htmlRemember how a bunch of random fools showed up near the end saying they wanted to buy the Thrashers? For that matter, remember how the Thrashers fell apart in February of that year, and how we later found out that was when several players learned the move to Winnipeg was a lock? Yeah, the Yotes just got off a 6-game skid.
