NHL Reaches Agreement on Salary Cap

And yeah, as much as i would love to see an NHL team in Oklahoma, i just don't ever see that happening; we will have to be content with being a good market for minor league hockey.

WOW, the St. Louis Blues owner is looking to sale with an announcement today...

Here is a team that may move... Why pay that high of a tax rate when you can move and get more for your money?

Kansas City would be an option as long as the tax is lower...

Las Vegas should be a prime contender.

Maybe Houston? But we know their record with pro franchises.

Maybe back to Canada? Winnipeg?

And why not OKC? I think OKC is very close to being able to support a pro franchise, but maybe hockey isn't the right choice.

 

Gosh...I would sure hate to see the Blues leave. Remember back in the mid-80's when they were seriously talking relocating to Saskatoon? Don't see a move happening.

Speaking of Winnipeg, the folks there would love to have a team back. They have a very nice new arena. Not sure if it is up to NHL standards however.

And the fans would support it more than Oklahoma City. It's just followed on a different level up there.

Think Okies and Sooner football.

 

There are probably a dozen cities in Canada that would take a NHL franchise, and it would sell out each night, no matter how bad the team blew.

Hamilton, Winnipeg, Quebec City, Halifax, etc. etc.....

It's all economics though.
