Thread: Last push before relocation
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Birtle34</b></div><div>Simple math on this also, ownership investment from rink/condos/cut from shark club, and whatever else they have downtown, simply doesn’t overly work without the 40 dates a year jets. But let’s say they put the team on the market to be moved, league isn’t going to allow Quebec City period, only option is probably North Toronto new rink, but between Ottawa, and Toronto, that wouldn’t be allowed either. So for the sale route, min price would be a billion, move it to a location with a newish rink, probably another 1/2 billion. 1/2 billion into the club, sitting there with a 2 billion ish investment and what cities evaluation going to ensure at least a 2 plus billion evaluation? Along with the fact that all the other owners much prefer splitting 3/4 of a billion expansion fee over any relocations. Owners better not cry wolf too many times, but this one may work, as long as they make some changes along with the corporate crowd, got to toughen up that ticket, instead of such a soft ticket, never should have killed the secondary market, and some of the other markets that could prop up the demand on tickets when it is lagging. From a die hard jets fan</div></div>

You said everything that needs to be said. I’m just worried about Houston. They have a multimillionaire owner of their NBA team who is on record as meeting with the league and wanting a team. They could go to two more expansion teams between Houston and Salt Lake or they could move Arizona to one and the Jets to the other.

Thread: Trade Hellebuyck and Connor Extend Scheifele
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikearky</b></div><div>You must be kidding? You asked four essentially 4 1st round picks and for what a 30 year old goalie whonis a pending UFA and Connor, who is a very good player, and all for one proven player whonis what 20 or 21 a top 10 ten pick this year and two future 1st round picks. There is nothing Helly would sign here as the Wings are not a true cup contender and he could walk after this year.

Also for your dmart remark, Yzerman got Petry on the cheap and for virtually nothing. I am not overall happy, but Steve is slowly trying to shape this team for a long run in the playoffs and possible cups runs. Guys like you see the fast track and wonder why your team sucks for 3 to 5 years and then is good for two.</div></div>

A great goalie and a guy who’s scored 47 goals for a bunch of maybes, an average goalie and a bad defenceman is me doing you a favour.
