Dang it

Very little traffic!

lol, actually not true somehow. It's been a few years since I was last there, but the Edmonton (and Calgary) traffic was brutal considering how spread out both of them are. Not Toronto bad, but both barely scrape 1 million people in their CMA's to Toronto's 7+

Imagine 35 teams for NHL.
Why isn't NFL expanding? Oh yeah because they make enough revenue and aren't depending on expansion fees.
Also, these idiot owners take the expansion $ then complain years later when the cap is too high.

Fake News Removed

 

[mbow30]

1) can’t do that
2) would be 10 years if it were true
3) would be dumb shit by Schaefer

 

[leafman101]

An Isles fan calling themselves Mike Bartner is cultural appropriation.

 

[axlsalinger]

yeah it's bullshit

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Atlanta and Arizona sound like great ideas.

 

[axlsalinger]

If only someone had tested if those markets could handle a professional hockey team before.

 

[MindzEye]

That sounds expensive though.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

It’s just super obvious that those would be amazing hockey markets.

 

[axlsalinger]

i wonder if they should make the owner of one of those franchises a buffoon with no money or business sense and move the arena far away from where people are just to even the playing field

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I think there’s a high school rink they can play at in Arizona so they’re already set with that.

 

[MindzEye]

Seriously....very seriously. Tel Aviv might be a better expansion candidate than Atlanta, and Gaza better than Phoenix.

 

[axlsalinger]

i'm gonna say Atlanta has a chance. Things have changed there to some extent.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Seriously....very seriously. Tel Aviv might be a better expansion candidate than Atlanta, and Gaza better than Phoenix.

Now that’s what you call a rivalry, not this Leafs Habs bullshit.

McDavid is not Kaprizov. He doesn’t need to play any silly waiting games or come up with any negotiating ploys to get paid what he wants.

He could step into Stan Bowman’s office anytime and offer to sign an extension for one year, eight years or any length of time in between, and for the maximum allowable individual player salary ($19.1M), and Bowman’s immediate response would be “yes sir Mr. McDavid, thank you sir Mr. McDavid”.

The only plausible reason this hasn’t happened yet is there is some other reason unrelated to term or money why McDavid is not willing to commit to staying in Edmonton for any longer than he is contractually obligated to.

Or, signing now isn't a priority because, as you say, he can get it done any time.

Only the fans and media are impatient for a resolution to this. McDavid couldn't care less. He has all the time in the world before deciding between the Panthers, Stars, Knights or Avs.

Got my Gaza Strippers cap already.
