I missed a whole southern hockey debate.
I've told Czech that I think the NHL could do without the Panthers, Thrashers, Coyotes and Blue Jackets and the world wouldn't end. Of course the league would never go for that, but it's a pipe dream.
Anyone see My Winnipeg? The section about the Jets is really revealing. The fact that they built a new arena right in downtown, replacing a historic landmark and built it under NHL capacity is just so baffling.
Here's your new arena Winnipeg. Oh, an NHL team doesn't come with that.
It sounds like the owner got fucked on a bad lease, but he shouldn't have asked for Glendale to fund him a new arena in the first place if he had to sign a lease that stupid. Move them to Hamilton.
