There were 3 interested parties in Seattle rumoured to possibly putting in a bid.

Now there are two.

rumored to possibly. until someone steps up, it doesnt look like its going to happen, especially with the arena situation in flux.

We don't need more teams. We need teams in the right places. Florida, Arizona, Nashville, Carolina have virtually zero support. Even Dallas struggles. Move Florida to Seattle and Az to Quebec then we will see what happens.

The NHL doesn't need more teams, it needs less.

The key is to get a team and then if you bankrupt it, Betman will step in the save the team.

Betman will not let a team move.

Then no matter what your history is as a team, fans have short memories so that when you win in your 48th year, they will forget the previous 47 years.

For the second time. The Flames were originally from there. Gary had no choice there.

So yes, teams do move.

If Quebec gets approved, which team do you guys think goes to the west? My money is on CBJ.

i recall a few years ago, the NHL brass was talking about how Columbus cant survive out west, financially. if they remained in the west, it would doom the team. so, because of that, i think its detroit.
