Jovial Cow posted:So what are the odds they name themselves the Knights and wear T-Mobile purple or magenta or whatever. High for Knights/Black Knights I think, zero for the colors. You can probably guess the colors from the official site

Nail Rat posted:They will have bad attendance and lose a lot of money if the team is bad and expansion teams tend to be bad. Literally the only counterexample is the 1995 NFL expansion where they gave extra entry picks in the first two rounds to the expansion teams (in addition to an expansion draft) and made the expansion draft rules favorable. And NHL draft picks don't contribute as quickly as NFL ones. So it's a very real problem that they have to face. It's not an affront to your city, expansion is a bad place to start from. No everyone would be making the same tired jokes with relocation

Nail Rat posted:You need to get some thicker skin, if it surprises you some people don't like the idea of hockey in the desert you haven't paid much attention to what's gone on over the past twenty years or so in the NHL. Maybe you and everyone else should wait for the team to do more than barely exist before writing the obituary

Nail Rat posted:Do you have any idea how bad they will be the first few years? Maintaining fan support will be a challenge. That doesn't mean it won't happen, BUT. It's because it isn't skepticism. They already know the end the day after the team was announced. You say it is critical to get on the path of having a good roster soon? I agree. But we don't even know what path they will take since they don't have a gm or really ANYTHING.

Nail Rat posted:The Wild and the Blue Jackets were both officially named around 2.5 years before their first drafts. This team is going to be drafting in 9 months and the owner is still by his account registering fake names to throw people off the trail of what they're actually going to be called. Maybe the NHL should've allowed Foley to start the naming process earlier

Nail Rat posted:Your third post in this thread is saying you hope you don't need to wait until September for the name. Now we know the name's not being announced in September and the guy is still registering fake names. And you'd be making GBS threads on him if the name leaked from registering only one name

Also good job of comparing a team moving to Vegas with a team starting here I guess much like talking about the time frame of naming to draft instead of the time frame of granted team to name, you'll pick whatever lovely angle you can

Nail Rat posted:You have incredibly thin skin. I find it dumb that the guy doesn't have his name when it's seemed inevitable he was getting a team a year ago, yes. I dared to make an offhand comment that the team might have issues keeping fans if they were really bad, yes. Those are literally the two things I've ever said against your exalted team. You are holding this grudge like a crazy person. I do hope your team works out because I think it's really cool for Vegas to finally be getting teams but this is not going well and you're stupid if you don't realize they're loving up an important time. The NFL is way, way bigger than the NHL and the possibility of the Raiders moving to Vegas has looked legit for like six months, yet the Creator keeps pushing back his reveal date (it was originally supposed to be September, which you yourself thought was a long time). I mean if you wanna be rah rah and pretend you don't see that this is being handled poorly feel free. Once again you do not consider the NHL dragging their feet nor them not wanting anything official with the team done until they granted it

AsInHowe posted:It was stupid for Winnipeg, yes, but the team was already selling a ton of Jets merchandise before it officially became the name, and all of that sold merchandise led to the name of Winnipeg Jets. (The owners wanted to simply upgrade their AHL identity of Manitoba Moose, but the fans wouldn't have it.) That name was basically a fait accompli. It's not but keep dreaming of that thought like everyone else that isn't in vegas
