Around the NHL 10 - 2022/23

Owner of the Utah Jazz

I wonder if this was the backup plan incase the arena deal didn't go thru all along

 

[Flamingo]

If the Coyotes showed up at the city limits with a "please take me back" sign, would you kick out the current Jets and welcome the old Jets back home?

I wouldn't be surprised given that the tweet's nearly a month old. Probably just comes down to sale price and potential relocation fees whether they're going to Utah or not.

I am low-key rooting for Salt Lake City, just so that there is a market that is going to be even less desirable and on more NTC lists than Winnipeg

As someone who has visited the Salt Lake City area on a regular basis (Covid notwithstanding), it is a very beautiful and friendly place. I don't think it would be hard to get players to go there at all. I love Winnipeg, but even I would move there in a heartbeat if my job relocated...

There has been a plan B in place for years I am sure of that. Salt Lake is newer player.

I wonder if QC may be in line here with an expansion team out west. I'd love to see the Nords back.

Quebec city got robbed of their storied Nordiques, and they won the cup the first year in Colorado. I hope they get an NHL franchise back again.

I am sure it's a lovely place but most of the NHL is young often single guys in their 20s and their early 30s, the kind of lifestyle someone at that age might want might not fit with what I expect is one of the more stuffy and religious markets in NA.

reimer called to say he's in. no colours allowed on his jersey though

Sell current Jets 2.0 for 500 mil and take Jets 1.0 back for free...... Most Winnipeg thing ever

 

[bustamente]

With then population that Houston has they will either by expansion or relocation have a team in the near future

Former Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock is among those the Columbus Blue Jackets have interviewed for their vacancy, according to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun.

LOL @ Laine escaping Maurice only to end up with Babcock... atleast Laine and Babcock together should be entertaining.

Coyotes after reading all these posts discussing where they'll be relocated

 

[Guardian17]

Jets return the Jets 1.0 records to Winnipeg and merge them with Jets 2.0 and I'll be happy!

There isn't enough money in the world to get me to live in once a week mass shooting Texas.

Almost 400 m guns are you really safe anywhere down there.

Yotes still have 1 year left in the deal they signed at the mullett …. So this time next year is going to be interesting

Yes.

Don’t know how a city about the size of Calgary and Edmonton can support both the NBA and NHL at the same time!

The Combined Statistical Area of SLC-Provo-Ogden has about 2.7 million people.

No liquor sales during third periods? For basketball no liquor sales after 3 rd quarter.

Utah is quite wealthy. Salt Lake City has some major environmental issues brewing though due to lax mining laws and a shrinking lake..

Salt Lake City’s efforts to fight pollution face a new challenge: Toxic dust

Declining water levels exposed much of the Great Salt Lake's bed and created conditions for storms of dust laden with toxic metals that now threaten 2 million people.

And here in Manitoba three levels of govt. haven't found a tax they didn't like!

If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.

Interesting as the NHL heads into the Semis we have the 2 seed from the Central, 1 seed from the Pacific, 1 seed from the Atlantic, and wildcard from the Metro. More of a top heavy year.

I wouldn’t say I’m looking forward to this next round but I am curious. I have a friend with the Dallas org and have met some people there, and don’t like Vegas so I have some emotion there hopefully they don’t start those games at midnight like they did last round since I go to bed early.

In summary

F$&k Vegas
