Karmanos has admitted that if he had waited two years, the Whalers would have exploded in value with their part ownership of what is now NBC Sports Boston as RSNs shifted to basic cable but his dislike of the then Connecticut governor fueled the departure.

The Whalers were seen in the Boston market, along with the rest of New England except southwestern CT, which TV considers New York City.

When they left in 1997 nobody had a clue where they would wind up.
