if he had wanted to move the phoenix team to winnipeg, quebec or some other city other than hamilton,
or anywhere else in southern ontario, they would have welcomed him with open arms, he only wanted
hamilton, and that is what did him in.

Because he tried to do an end run around the league, he is now persona no grata and will never get an NHL franchise.

if phoenix moves to winnipeg, I wonder if they will leave divisions as they are, seems a move would
be in order.
they could move colorado into phoenix spot and put winnipeg in n. w. division with
canucks

I doubt Winnipeg would want that. I know they weren't happy in 82 when they got moved to the Smythe Division (when the Rockies went to NJ). It meant 8:30 and 9:30 starts for the prime TV games. That ain't gonna happen though unless you revamp the entire alignment. I think they would much rather have the Nucks move to the Pacific
I remember when toronto was in our division, thankfully they left.
I don't think canucks would be changed, they are clustered with calgary and edmonton, and winnipeg
isn't much farther, and maybe winnipeg won't have a choice, as they will be new, maybe they just
have to go where they are told. Will be interesting to see.
Maybe there will be a bigger juggling of teams, I know detroit has wanted to be in the east for
a long time, (at least that's what is said, doesn't mean it is so), there could be a bigger
change than we think.
I don't want to lose detroit out of the western conference.
Distance has little to do with it. Time zones do. Since inter-divisional away games are the best in terms of TV, it's nice to have them on at a decent time. I'm sure the people of Winnipeg would rather watch a Wild, Hawk or Blues game that runs from 7:30 - 10:30 than a Nucks game that runs from 9:30 to 12:30 AM. I know most parents won't let their kids stay up past midnight unless it's playoff hockey. I'm sure the Nucks would rather have more games that start at 7:30 than at 6 or 5. Higher ratings = higher revenue.

They have lots of games that start at different times. Most of their road games that are in different time zones don't start at 7:00.
i'm talking about home games only, of course away games start at different times, didn't
realize you were talking about travel. Doesn't matter when they start, the only games that
seem to upset the team a bit are early afternoon games in the east, very different to their
regular game day schedule, but that doesn't happen very often at all.
Fans don't care when they start, all of our game times are convenient,but i'm sure in the east the fans whine about having to
watch their own teams very late when they are out west.
You seem to have a nasty habit of not reading what you are responding to
OK, thats it, I was enjoying back and forth with you about the hockey, but now you're sliding into
the personal stuff again, and I won't buy into that, yes, I misunderstood what you said, i'm
human, that happens, just as it does with most people, sorry about that.
Have a nice day.
So it will take corporate hand outs and corporate season ticket sales to make it work? Who will they hand these tickets out too? I'd really like to see a team in Winnipeg again but on the other hand I'd hate to see it fail too.
Corporate support isn't a dad taking his kids to see a game without having to blow a week's pay to do it.
Disposable income in Winnipeg isn't the same as in AB, ON or even SK with it's insane growth rates.
WINNIPEG — Winnipeg had 19th highest median total family income among 33 Canadian cities in 2008, according to new data issued today.
Total family income includes employment income, investment income, government transfers, pension income and other income. The median is the point where half of the families’ incomes are higher and half are lower.
Statistics Canada said data derived from 2008 personal income tax returns show Winnipeg families had a median income of $70,510 for that year — the same as families in Windsor, Ont.
Calgary had the highest median family income at $91,570, with Edmonton ($88,190), Ottawa-Gatineau ($87,160), Oshawa ($83,220) and Guelph ($81,910) rounding out the Top 5.
Winnipeg also had the thirteenth biggest increase in median family income from 2007 to 2008, at 1.5 per cent. Saskatoon had the top gain, at 4.1 per cent, followed by St. John’s (4.0), Greater Sudbury (3.9), and Saint John and Edmonton at 3.3 per cent each.

Saskatistan and Manitoba will lead the country in economic growth in the next ten years but as I indicated before, that is irrelevant. The richest man in Canada (and somebody that obviously knows more about business than you and I) says it is doable and that is all that really matters.
