Send them to Atlanta and bring the Thrashers back.
NHL in Georgia deserves a better fate.


If they wanted to do it right, although the Leafs wouldn’t allow it, is Hamilton.

Imo they have Clarke and Spence coming as well as Durzi there. McCabe would make a good pairing with either of these players cuz they’re all offensive guys and he’s defensive, the only guy he wouldn’t make sense with is Roy


Clarke's a RD though along with Spence and rn Kings got

Durzi, Roy, and Doughty for the right side (I know Durzi on the left but hes better on the right)

Kings need a LD as after Anderson they really dont got that guy yet. Maybe Bjornfot but its up in the air with him rn

Which is why Chycrun makes sense as hes a LD

The vote is next month, right? I would imagine the groups in favour of the arena would just put out a bunch of advertisements right before advocating for it.


Watch Arizona gonna approve then after an investigation it was found Bettman bribed all the voters with NHL funds

Personally would rather see the Nordiques back as we need more Canadian teams but hey u know a Dallas vs. Houston rivalry could be fun

HOUSTON WILD DOGS INCOMING

What have I been saying lul

When they got kicked out the simple solution would have been reloacation

But no Bettman does not want to admit HE WAS ****ING WRONG

Just ship the team to Houston already who got an arena ready and waiting

As even if this gets approved I guarantee u within 5 years we hear they aint making enough money and once again the big 3 teams gonna have to bail them out financially.

I'd prefer Saskatoon (lol) but Hamilton makes a lot of sense.

Could relocate them to Vancouver; heard they were looking for an NHL club on the left-coast!

Austin, TX.
Largest NA city without pro sports franchise.
Young, wealthy, growing.
Tons of northern transplants.

Houston makes more sense as they got the Rockets Arena already sitting there (Can host an NHL arena)

Basically would save the NHL money and would require minimal transfer problems

Would be doomed to fail. Houston is too spread out. Austin has downtown, could build around it.

I mean not necessarily Rockets and Astros are doing well and the Rockets owner has said he wants an NHL team and projections for Houston were postitive financially.

Plus a Houston vs. Dallas rivalry would be equivalent to the Astros vs. Rangers

Good for business.

You’re right by. His draft stock is dropping. If he wants to go first overall, he really needs to pick it up

I’d imagine people in Florida have better things to do on a Friday night than watch weird “skills” competitions

In general All-Star is becoming redundant now to the point where it just feels like a waste of time
