I like the Aces. But you just know it'll be the Las Vegas Jackpot. Gotta advertise for the city you know.

Aces would be cool....if they use the spade it would make a cool logo.of course people would say they colour scheme is too LA Kings.

Only problem with Sasquatch is the fact the the Avalanche use a sasquatch foot as their shoulder logo.

Toronto Edge
like the edge of a blade, Niagara falls edge, Edge walk CN tower, cutting edge, an edge on the competition, intense, and sharp.
I see there is already a radio station named that, but shouldn't be a conflict.

I don't think this league needs any expansion, they need to move some less profitable franchises, which they always seem to balk at doing.

I agree. With rumors having Carolina (a team with 3 deep playoff runs AND a cup to boot in recent history) going to Las Vegas, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that some teams are suffering financially.

I realize it's not all that easy to just up and move a franchise, but if you are considering expansion then either there is an existing arena in place and a market, or you are gonna have to build new regardless.

Maybe they should try a team in Atlanta . . .

Vegas Aces
Seattle Sasquatch
Quebec Nordiques
Toronto Wolves

not sure as to why the 4th largest city of 6 million people in the U.S. and the only top 10 TV market not to have a team Houston, TX is not getting serious consideration for an NHL team. Oil & Gas (i work in the industry) is big here and with a lot of Canadians and foreigners from cold oil nations doing business and living here. this would be an excellent city to have a team here not to mention already have a facility that will seat 18,000+ in Toyota Center, not to mention the rivalry between Dallas & Houston in every other sport this would seem to fuel that fire even more with another franchise sport here.

Houston came very close about 15 years ago....had a buyer ready to move the team from Edmonton had it not been for a few dozen local millionaires chipping in to keep the team here.
