I love the Panthers arena just wish it was closer to Miami like Hollywood or Dania

If you take I595, from Dania Beach or Hollywood, you can be at the arena in 20 minutes.

I have spent the majority of this morning talking to people in this world and I really don't see Vegas as anywhere near a slam dunk
- Eklund


So are you finally admitting that your rumors have been coming from out of this world?

NO EXPANSION.

The NHL does not need more teams as the talent pool is already incredibly watered down.

Get the Coyotes the Hell out of Arizona and into Seattle

Florida Does not need two teams. So move one up to Quebec.

So you leave the conferences unbalanced? Better odds of making the playoffs in the West forever?
Not gonna happen... brace yourself for expansion to the west.

Toronto is at least hockey country. Vegas? That's lame. No one will go.

I have been to many Panther games but they should have made it easier for people like me who live in Miami

What evidence is there that KC is a hockey town and deserves another chance?

I still don't understand where this "Watered down" talent argument comes from...

Just because idiot GMs employ talentless plugs doesn't mean there's a lack of talent. It means a lot of talent is playing elsewhere.

Prostitution is actually not legal in Las Vegas. It's legal in certain counties in Nevada but not Clark County, where Las Vegas is.

I live out here and as much as i would love to see live hockey again I just don't know how it would really make it?......the new arena going up now is pretty impressive though.

Why wouldn't people go? People go to Vegas to gamble, see shows ect, no reason Casinos can't make a deal with Local Sports team. People would go see a game if they are hockey fans, I am sure people will bet as well. I dunno about you but If I am making a bet on a team I'd like to see my investment first hand. Kind of like horse races. Some people like to go and watch the horses race as apposed to watching it on the TV there.

Left out St.Louis. One of the best teams in the league but one of the worst attendance record percentage.

Tons of FA hit the market at the end of every off season. No reason they can't land any of them. There are definitely some good guys out there without jobs. More hockey teams is good for everyone really. Means more jobs not just for players but the public as well. I don't believe they will be a contender first NHL season or anything but they should be able to Ice a decent team. The question I have is how does the draft work then? Think teams would be upset to lose out on the 1st overall pick because new teams are joining the league and I don't feel it is fair to a new team to put them last. What do you do in that situation?
