Even though I don’t think it’s ever coming back the USA, I’d love for Saginaw to put in a bid for this. They’ll have the team and marquee players to market this. Concert area right across the street to host events during. Brand new state of the art scoreboard. Decent size arena (5500). Plenty of hotels/dining 5 min down I-75. Would still have to make a few upgrades in house but at least make them SAY no.
Saginaw would be hard pressed to have both the roster and extra picks to look like a favourite among potential contenders for the 2024 playoffs by February 2023 when bids go in. Niagara (east last hosted 2014?) then Kitchener if not all-in this season appear best bets; maybe Saginaw or London, if they have massively successful re-tooling years.
