NJTank Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I think Salt Lake, Milwaukee and Hamilton could be good landing spots. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hathaway Browne Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Surely Quebec and Seattle are good candidates without arenas, and Kansas City would be the prime candidate with a ready-to-go barn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hasn't this topic been beaten to death? I'm pretty sure the Quebec discussion is ongoing in the NHL Babysitting thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmoehrin Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Phoenix has to be the next franchise to move, aren't they?Why would they be the next to go? Just because nobody will buy them and the city of Glendale has to pay the NHL in order to keep them from folding doesen't mean they are moving.Kharma says that once they get solid ownership and start winning they'll move to Quebec and win the Stanley Cup.

Gothamite Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Phoenix has to be the next franchise to move, aren't they?Why would they be the next to go? Just because nobody will buy them and the city of Glendale has to pay the NHL $25 million every year in order to keep them from folding doesen't mean they are moving.Sorry, just had to include the amount, which raises farce to tragedy.

illwauk Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Milwaukee, while definitely a logical choice, will never come up for serious discussion as long as the Bucks are around. And my preference for college hockey (and pretty much college anything) makes me not want the NHL as long as the possibility of UWM adding ice hockey exists.

Gothamite Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I actually think an NHL franchise increases the likelihood that the panthers add hockey, if only to spark further interest in the sport.

illwauk Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I actually think an NHL franchise increases the likelihood that the panthers add hockey, if only to spark further interest in the sport.Perhaps, but the presence of the Bucks, Marquette, Madison (to some extent) and City Conference hoops hasn't exactly helped our basketball program.

DL Watt Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Phoenix has to be the next franchise to move, aren't they?Why? I dont want to hear the whole " Phoenix is not a hockey area, hockey has no place in the desert line that is used time and time again." The fact is, Phoenix is a money town, many "Northerners" have relocated to the great southwest and in turn brought the hockey love with them.

Poor excuse.If anything it's not the hockey market issue, but rather the fact that it's the easiest to relocate since The League has control.

The fact is, Phoenix is a money town, many "Northerners" have relocated to the great southwest and in turn brought the hockey love with them.You know, I could point to the parlous attendance numbers (including the last few seasons in which you had the best teams in Phoenix history playing) or the fact that the Coyotes need a $25 million annual taxpayer subsidy to...um....be slightly less in the red as signs as to why this team should move, but I'm going to trot this out instead.On Friday, November 25th, the Coyotes will have a "Leftover Fest" as they host the Canucks. Fans in attendance will receive promotional items left over from previous games, because the giveaway was supposed to be for the first 10,000 fans, but 10,000 fans never showed up.Move this ing team.

Gothamite Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 If any "Northerners" have brought a love of hockey to Arizona, it's a shame that they haven't also brought that love to the games.
