NHL Anti-Thread: Bad Business Decision Aggregator

I have been paying attention since the late 80s. But keeping the Coyotes and Panthers in their respective locations becomes more laughable with each passing year. Now Las Vegas may really come to fruition? That's more laughable than hockey in South Florida and Arizona.

The Aloof family is one of the prospective owners of a Las Vegas expansion team.

The NHL has pulled off the impossible, how frickin dumb can you be even thinking about putting those clowns in as owners.

Well actually having money has never been a requirement for owning a NHL team before. Why start now?
Not just that, but were universally panned as being the worst owners in the NBA, if not all of sports, and pretty much gave the middle finger to the fanbase for the last 6 years of their ownership.

Be honest, if you had to pick one player who was most likely to infect opponents with a disease that has been nearly eradicated in the western world, you'd probably pick Corey Perry.

In a league that at the time included Sterling, Dolan, Kohl, Cohan, Bennett, and Sarver, the Maloofs were considered the worst owners in the NBA during most of their time in the league. In GaryWorld, this apparently makes them a qualified candidate.

You're still new to this NHL thing, so I'll give you some free advice. Never underestimate the depths to which the NHL will sink to in order to land owners. Sad as it may be? I wasn't surprised in the least to hear the NHL was considering the Maloofs.

In that case Bettman's ignorance clouded his poor judgment to the league's benefit. Tell me, has RIM hit penny stock levels yet?

Oh, I know all about Spano, Boots DelBiaggio, Kokusai Green, et al. The Maloofs getting serious consideration is not a surprise.

If Vegas gets into the NHL wouldn't that mean that the Sun Belt would have more teams than all of Canada?

That just seems a bit out of whack to me unless there is something I'm missing then please explain it to me.
