You know how many times I hear stories about teams going to Vegas?

Now, now ... that wasn't necessary, or was it ???

here are some positives:

Rick Tochet could coach the Las Vegas Rhinestones.

Damn, they could suck like HOOVER, DAM.

Maybe the new NHL will merge with Cirque de soleil and do a Beatles Concert and play a game at the same time.

If FOX brings back the glowing puck they wont need special effects, nuclear test sites are less than 90 miles away.

finally, all the russian spies/players can easily access secrets an AREA 51.

Always finding the silver lining, Chilltown. Thanks for that.

Wow! Blueandwhite girl is thinking outside the box now!...Gotta love it...I especially like the Area 51 bit. I was just up at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base a week ago and they got their own Area 51 thing going there...

Anyway, give yourself a gold star, and move on to the NHL's school for future front office executive...I like your thinking...

PS I was going to mention Tochet but forget how to spell his name...thanks...

Elvis has left the rink.

Honestly, if there is going to be a move, I'd like to see Wisconsin have a go at having an NHL team. Madison, has the U (Go Badgers), and a population of 220,000 largely comprised of folks who love them some puck. Milwaukee has 580,000 people, but I don't know about how many of them are hockey fans. Green bay a little over 100,000 Cheeseheads.

Hamilton makes the most sense, though. 500,000 toothless smiling faces would pull sweaters over their neighbor's head just to get tickets. Canadan Dollars and American dollars are about the same; so, under the new salary capped NHL it could work.

At the very least...hockey talk should be like a drunken Nicholas Cage character...Leaving Las Vegas.

I bet any amount of money Rick Tocchet would be a good coach

Hamilton is in the restricted area due to both the Maple Leafs and the Sabres being in that general area. Its probable not going to happen. Gary Bettman mentioned 2 cities that are on top of his canadian cities he would like to bring a team to and they are Winnipeg and Quebec city (due to making a right where there was once wrong). That being said Kitchner/Waterloo have a billionare owner who just tried to buy the Predators for 220 million which is obviously alot more then a failing NHL francise is worth.

If Quebec Gets A Team Do They Get The Automatic Pick From The Quebec Juniors Like They Used To?
