Levitate posted:is that like an old arena being converted to NHL hockey or did they really build a new arena with lovely facilities (I haven't paid attention nor give a poo poo about Vegas) It opened this year so I'm guessing it was built with an NHL team in mind.

It's impressive that in such a short time Vegas had managed to outdo Philly for dumbest team reporting.

Duke Chin posted:If LV doesn't get one of those fancy rear end light projection deals for their ice that makes the whole thing look like a giant slot machine then just contract the whole loving thing cause they're doing it all wrong. Any one of us on this thread could market this team better than how they actually will.

Cabbit posted:I look forward to referring to my new team as the Knights into perpetuity, praying everyone drops the Golden part for expediency's sake. Most people tend to call Columbus the Jackets, so I'm guessing this will probably be likely to happen.

The Preds have a super favourable lease agreement that lets them earn up to an $8.4 million subsidy based on financial incentives (the city pays the team $1m/yr to manage the arena for them).

El Gallinero Gros posted:Are there any players likely to be available where it actually would be a good idea for them to draft them? Like, surely somebody has to be their Brian Bellows or whatever. Namestikov from Tampa, Jarnkrok from Nashville, and Dumba from Minnesota are good long term options that will likely be exposed. Oh, and Matt Murray.

iospace posted:Delayed, but three things. 1. The main school in Wisconsin with hockey is UW-Madison, commonly shortened to UW. UW-M is UW-Milwaukee, which doesn't have hockey . As much as I wanted a team in Milwaukee before, I've reached the point where I'm happy to be an AHL town now. My half-season tickets only cost $320/year and I still get very high quality hockey, plus the team is way more accessable than you'd ever see in the NHL.

Emetic Hustler posted:Hawks have never had the Chicago Wolves as an AHL affiliate. Rockford since 2007 and before that it was the Norfolk Admirals from 2000. Blackhawks might have soured on the Wolves when they pulled more spectators than the Hawks during the dark years and actually won games. The Wolves were founded in 1994 as an IHL expansion team as part of the league's effort to expand into larger markets. Most of the other cities the IHL expanded to though (Denver, Twin Cities, and Houston) didn't have a nearby NHL team. While normally this would hurt, the Blackhawks we such a garbage organisation that the Wolves were able to successfully market themselves as a cheaper alternative for families that normally couldn't afford to go to a Hawks game. Needless to say, the Wolves and Hawks didn't exactly have a great relationship.

DJExile posted:lol, i get the annoyance to a certain degree but loving every minor league team in every sport markets itself as the less-expensive alternative to the big leagues, that's not new I should add, the Wolves also broadcast all their games on TV, so for a while they were the highest level hockey on Chicago TV.
