It could be argued that it died when the Cleveland Barons merged with the North Stars, only to later "un-merge" and become the San Jose Sharks. That certainly did a number on "continuity". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questions. I have questions. Bettman said that construction of a new rink has to be at least 50% complete within the 5 year window in order for the franchise to be reactivated. If that doesn't happen, Phoenix will just get the same consideration as any other potential expansion market after that point. 5 hours ago, SFGiants58 said: It ended already, when the Senators tried to pretend they were connected to the Silver Seven. Speaking of which, I still wish the =O= set was promoted to primary status. The current iteration of the Sens has never pretended they're the same franchise as the original Senators. Yes, they brought back the name & have banners in the arena honouring the old Stanley Cup wins, but that's no different than the Jets 2.0 having Avco Cup banners & the old Jets retired numbers in their rink. We are in agreement on the =O= set though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
