Survival of the org - can afford to rebuild when ticket base is declining

 

[lecoqsportif]

Really? Doesn’t that to depend on Thompson’s mood?

Any top shelf player that can be convinced to stay in Winnipeg long term is a miracle signing. That is one franchise that can be forgiven.

In any other market, a fireable offense. But when your team is located in the one city in the league that is less desirable than Montreal you do stupid, desperate things like this.

They'll relocate back to Atlanta within the next decade.

There's a billboard on the highway notifying everyone that WeHave is leaving town.

Houston…. Atlanta is getting an expansion team & paying expansion $$$ for it which owners will not forgo via relocating an exiting team

Mormon town to follow suit thereafter…

It has a mall, no sales taxes, cheap gas and ample free parking. It's also quite a bit larger than Winnipeg.

Houston's not getting a relocation, either. A relocation would be Salt Lake.

Houston is getting expansion, virtually guaranteed.

The owner in Houston wants nothing to do w an expansion team, has told Bettman wants NHL team to quickly compete w Stars, otherwise he doesn’t want to team, whereas Salt Lake (Jazz owner) has told NHL he’s good w expansion team

Yotes will move to Houston IMO
