NHL Expansion back on agenda?

[TheLegend]

I can name two cities that would live to see the Atlanta Phoenix play a game in Phoenix. LOL.

Maybe someday.

Not sure if any team coming back to Arizona would carry the Coyotes name. Think the mood here seems to be to go in a different direction even with the Kachina logo being as popular as it was.

Of the trio of large markets I think Houston most likely of all to go with the established historical name of Aeros. Coyotes just no success to the name and countless bad owners. Might want to start fresh. Atlanta, kind of the same though not as bad off ice or having it drag out as long as in AZ.

But, getting a trademark is hard for anything that is a generic type name like Knights. I mean look at the name options Utah and Seattle put out.

My guess is that Houston doesn’t go to the Aeros. They will want something fresh appealing to new fans.

I'll accept Phoenix or Firebird, nothing else.

I'll accept Phoenix

I'll allow it, on the condition that a new team in Arizona is named the Phoenix Atlantas.

I'm under the impression Utah has theirs worked out..... but it's taken a lot of negotiating ($$$$$$$$$)

Ironically..... Firebirds has been suggested as a replacement in Phoenix..

NHL could have a best of five series and make the cities play for it.

One should be the Firebirds, the other should be the Flame Birds.

(Mostly joking, but I absolutely favor teams not worrying about rivals encroaching on their nominative territory, like the Red Sox and White Sox. I will go to my grave insisting that the Stars should have been forced to leave the North Stars name in Minnesota, and take the name Lone Stars in Dallas.)

Originally called Battle of the Planets, which was adapted from the Japanese series Science Ninja Team Gatchaman

You have a good eye for 1970s anime, mon ami.

I think the idea that they're expanding again so quickly is insane. Bush league behavior
