GDAWG Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 There was rampant speculation that new Montreal Alouettes owner Pierre Karl Peladeau (who's a controversial figure in Canada) was going to play a role in bringing the NHL back to Quebec City when he bought the Alouettes.

Not this time. They pushed all the chips they had left into the middle on this vote. Even the media members who have always been bullish on Arizona seem to have lost all optimism tonight.

P-K Peledeau's bringing back the Nordiques? Holy hell what year is it?

VampyrRabbit Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Tonight the Yotes are going to rock up at the now Desert Diamond Arena trying their best not to fall over, asking "Well tell me do you think it'd be alright, if i could just crash here tonight? You can see I'm in no shape for driving, and anyway I got no place to go" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoastBias Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Rip to the Coyotes. I doubt they relocate to Quebec City though, it's gonna be Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Houston is necessarily a shoe-in either. I think it depends on what Meruelo does now. If he sells the team -- is it just to the highest bidder? I feel like Bettman will have his hands over it all so who knows? Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Not sure if any of you listen to NHL radio on sirius, but they've been talking about Cleveland as a possibility on the air this morning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiK Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 ESPN (so take it with a large grain of salt) is throwing around Salt Lake City as a potential option for relocation, only going as far to say "Jazz owner Ryan Smith has met with Bettman within the past year." Now that's an interesting location. Anyone know if hockey has any type of following in the Beehive State?

Not sure how successful either of them were/are. I remember thinking back during the 02 Olympics that SLC would be a cool place for an NHL team. Hockey has a pretty decent following in Utah, pretty much centered in the SLC metro area. The Grizzlies won two IHL championships and compete fairly well in the ECHL. They also have a handful of junior teams in the area. I don't think it's enough support and following to support an NHL franchise however. I don't know how suited Vivint Arena is for hockey either. 6 minutes ago, MiK said: Detroit spent YEARS waiting to get back into an eastern time zone division. They aren't going back to the central without a significant fight. I figured as such. Still, I don't get the same thrills watching them play Buffalo or Toronto or Ottawa opposed to Chicago, Colorado or Dallas even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No for Milwaukee. Fiserv Forum had an ice unit installed as an afterthought. I'd say there's no financial backing, either owner or fans, for an NHL team. 1 1 Quote It's where I sit.

No and I haven't heard anything that would suggest that's a serious possibility. I don't think the league would do that to Columbus, one, and, two, Cleveland is a small market that's already over-extended with their NFL, MLB, and NBA teams. Sounds like AM radio guys openly brainstorming about available cities without much thought beyond "hey they cold they have arena they have other sports" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
