Wranglers is decent.
 
When Vegas had a minor league hockey team, I used to go to the games and they had a decent turnout. I would go to a game when I go back to visit.
 
Plommer's numbers tell it like I have stated in the past! Quebec was the logical choice, not the largest population but those fans luv and deserve NHL hockey! Even if they talk with a funny accent! Phoenix is not doing good and Carolina even worst attendance wise so once a non HOCKEY city folds hopefully Vegas sticks!

I know the NHL has 16 East and 14 West teams and probably didn't want a 17/14 thing but the Red Wings could gone to the West! I always have seen them as a rival to the Blackhawks! Bettman chasing a potential big payout down the road?

slash the miami numbers by half, considering 70% of the county is latino and the arena is way up in broward country about an hour away from miami in the gringo areas
 
Two big problems with QC City - revenues come in in CAD while costs are USD. That's a big reason the Nordiques left in the first place. The market is not big enough to deal with a potentially HUGH currency imbalance. The new arena was built when CAD was at par or higher than USD.

The other problem is the same that plagues the Flames and Oilers, i.e. lots of players simply don't want to go there. These teams are forced to pay a premium for substandard players.

I would love to have the Nordiques back but it doesn't seem feasible in the short term.

Yes. I did read something about that issue! Well then Trudeau better get his act together and do something about it!
