Wouldn't it be a shocker if he moved the team altogether?...Wisconsin doesn't have a team...

he cant, signed a no-movement clause into the contract. the last ownership group (including Todd Macfarlane, isnt that cool?), fucked with him in the negotiations. some of the 33 owners didnt want to sell and refused until he added the clause. but their own agreement expired 4 years ago. fuckers. he just built a 30 million dollar mansion here, his business headquarters is here, and this city has like 50 of his stores. it would be unwise for him to try to move the team or sell to someone who would. it was crazy, he made 5 offers to buy the team. finally 200 million was the selling price

ahhh...well that's a good thing I suppose. Canada doesn't have enough Hockey teams. Saskatchewan and the northwest Territory really need to get a team.

you may be mocking, but Winnipeg needs another team. they realize their mistake letting the Jets leave. Minnesota got a second team, why not Winnipeg. Saskatchewan might not pull off a team.

Well if you ask me Alberta doesn't need two teams...maybe the flames or Oilers could move?

minnesota deserved a second team, afterall the northstars moved to dallas of all places

if ever there was a state and a city that didn't deserve a hockey team, sheesh....

I'd like to take this opportunity to show my appreciation of the people of Quebec.
