If Jeff Bezos wanted to create one or two NHL expansion teams

Created by: Pens3lieve
Team: 2020-21 Custom Team
Initial Creation Date: Dec. 6, 2020
Published: Dec. 6, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
had this idea from a spur of the moment post in a forum about possible NHL expansion.

"Jeff Bezos could create a team (actually several lol) and the NHL would laugh hysterically as they would raise the price to $1B and Bezos would shrug and get someone to get his sock drawer (that's overflowing with cash) to pay....."

that's so true lol.

if JB wanted to create a team (or two) I think the NHL would bend the rules in all ways possible just to have his revenue in the league. Salary cap--forget it. etc.... here's my best guess at 2 Jeff Bezos owned and run teams. he basically says: give me all your expensive or overpaid or LTIR or old players and he'll still have a great team and imagine the cap space it gives the other teams lol...

I doubt the this would be the case. That greedy person would likely never buy an nhl team, to small an operation for him.

Here in Detroit there have been rumors all season long that Bezos is looking to buy and relocate The Detroit Lions.

The Bellevue Union Busters.

If you hate how European football is modeled then you guys would absolutely hate Bezos showing any interest in buying a team.

yeah there is like no parity at all. a few big rich teams and that's it.

funny, I've never met someone in my whole life who was a fan of a soccer team besides: Barca, Real Madrid, PSG, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool, Man U, Man City, and Chelsea.... I wonder why......lol

every time I think "I wish there was no salary cap" I'm reminded to be thankful for it lol...

I can feel your pain, the wolves has been bad for some time. But that logo and name. All be it I have to reconsider my support of them. They are now chinese owned and I just can't really do that. But man, they had been my team for some time.
