The NHL knows they're losing money, yet you have a potential owner with deep pockets, and a fan base that has still gone strong. The league has seen what Winnipeg has done, imagine the possibilities with Quebec back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 The NHL has never considered any of their "final deadlines" for the Coyotes to be anything close to that. Still, I believe the runaway success in Winnipeg must be making them take a closer look at Quebec City. If nothing else, we've leaned that a smaller market that is already crazy about the sport can trump a large market that couldn't care less. Quote The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

The_Admiral Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 The deadline has been "last Thursday" for like three years!It's not just a hockey-mad small market, it's a hockey-mad small market where the owners are making money in multiple places. Whereas True North controls every virtually revenue stream related to the Jets and downtown Winnipeg entertainment, the key for Quebecor is that the Nordiques will anchor an entire sports channel, one that by my rough math will reach at least nine, maybe ten million people (Quebec, New Brunswick, Ottawa-Gatineau). While your immediate market is small, the expanded media market is equal to Montreal's.

mattwswfc Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 If the Coyotes do relocate to Quebec City in the next few years they could easily fit into what is currently being called 'Conference C' along with Toronto, Ottawa, Boston, Montreal, Buffalo, Tampa Bay and Florida. With the new format it gives the NHL less of a headache if they decide on expansion in the coming years, even if the Coyotes do stay in Glendale and say Quebec City get an expansion team in a few years, they can also fit right in 'C'. I think by implementing this new realignment, the NHL could be welcoming back Quebec City very soon... You never know but this could be the start of a 32 team NHL.

Sodboy13 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 There are too many teams that need to get their houses in order (Columbus, NY Islanders, Florida, Dallas, St. Louis) before we can start talking expansion. Also, the economy needs to get out of the dumper, and that doesn't appear to be happening any time soon. Not saying that either is a probability, but I'd say you're more likely to see fewer teams in the NHL than more by 2020.

The_Admiral Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 There's not enough talent for 32 teams unless you know something I don't about the KHL ceasing to exist. There also are not and will never be 32 locations capable of supporting the NHL. There aren't even 30 right now.

mattwswfc Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Maybe they could be planning contraction then, 28 teams would be better for talent and the 7 teams per conference could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Contraction would be a public relations cataclysm and would make the NHL look even more bush-league than moving five more teams to Canada. They're never going to admit failure on that level. They'll unload the Coyotes, then continue juggling the rest of their problems indefinitely.

Mac the Knife Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Actually, expansion to 32 markets would be fine - if all the teams were in the right 32 markets. Houston, Kansas City, Quebec City and Hamilton each have groups interested in bringing the NHL to their area. So move Phoenix to one of them, move another struggling franchise to another, and expand to the other two. It's not necessarily a perfect solution, but it could still work.
