Still, this league has been backwards for months, if not years.
Having a free agent and entry level draft before GM's and Coach's are in place, before buildings are even committed, and in some cases before teams are even committed.
I'm pulling for the WHA to get up on it's feet and see what it can do, but it doesn't seem that stable, and for those who think the NHL is poorly run -- it looks to have more organization than the WHA at this point.
You think someone would be able to come along and set this all up right, and create a buzz at an opportune time and be able to give birth to the league.
One thing I found a little odd, when the President of the WHA was on the radio here in Phoenix a couple of weeks ago, he said that the WHA was planning to get started up in 2001, but the 9/11 Tragedy put an end to that. Seems a little odd to mention that as I don't remember the league getting anywhere until this year. Considering the 9/11 Tragedy occurred in September, nearly game time, the league would have had to have some feet at that point to start that season, and if it stopped the league from starting a year later -- 9/11 is not the only reason it didn't go anywhere.
