STOP
At this point when Sid retires I’m done with the league
Really nothing about the yotes did anything remotely close to caring about management, to inept owner after inept owner to arena drama to being complete dog shit on the ice for much of their time there. I believed and still believe hockey can work in Phoenix but the relocation to the market with out any kind of semblance of plan was plain idiotic.Yeah, it worked really good in Phoenix, a huge media market with a huge population of people who don't give crap about hockey.
Many business ventures fail every damn day. These people aren't half as smart as you believe they are.Believe me, you are not smarter than the people willing to drop a billion dollar check to put a team back in Atlanta.
I mostly agree, except that it will leave more teams without a superstar level talent. That kinda sucks for fans.This isn’t true at all. There has never been more skilled NHL players than there is today. The NHL will have no problem filling 36 teams with talent.
I'll trust them over a jingoistic jackhole any day.Many business ventures fail every damn day. These people aren't half as smart as you believe they are.
I'm sorry, but that's a stupid reason. And it has nothing to do with the fact that my team is the last or second-to-last team that would ever relocate. Expansion affects my team and my quality of viewing a sport which I love. I don't want to lose a player in the expansion draft and I don't want to watch a watered-down product when other teams play.That's not the point. The point is about putting your money where your mouth is. If you're going to push for relocation as a general good, do so in a manner such that you would take the impact, rather than lazily and callously expecting others to take the hit for you.
Well thankfully the world doesn't revolve around you and some people actually have empathy.I'm sorry, but that's a stupid reason.

And it makes business sense to add more NHL teams in large cities where many people live.Empathy? It's a business. Maybe we should give all 50 states and every Canadian province a team
I mean... yeah, many business ventures do fail every day. There's no amount of vetting anyone can do that will account for every possible scenario that could happen that would cause a business to fail.Many business ventures fail every damn day.

Arizona had a place to stay, there was no one willing to take in the thrashers even a university team like arizona was allowed.Exactly, no disrespect to Arizona fans but it's crazy that they still get time to find owners for another franchise after 20+ of the same problems but ATL didn't.
NFL has 32 teams, 32 in the usa (more then the NHL)Name the big four leagues. Because if you’re referring to NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL, you may want to go check your math…
