I'd be surprised if they do something for the 2023-24 season, but who knows.

Maybe they have something up their sleeves and plan for the no vote.

they have a 2yrs contract to play at the mullet arena, they have time to plan a move

I agree.

They will stay in Arizona for at least a few more years, mostly because they do not want to waste a market that could bring in mega money with any future potential expansion plans (enough teams already, but money talks).

I do not see a team back in Quebec unless there are 2 more expansion teams come and the move of the Arizona franchise.

There’s no option that allows them to stay for just a few years. If they want their own arena they’ll need to identify space, work up a proposal, bring to the city council wherever that is and, if approved there, go through another referendum. That’s 2-3 years before building could start. The PA (conditions at Mullet Arena) and other owners (lost revenue while they play there), won’t agree to that. The real real option for staying is if the Suns’ new owner buys them and he would have to renovate their arena space which was just renovated

The 5000 seats arena?

Are they really gonna tolerate that for another year?

that arena is part of the joke, wouldn't be as funny if they had an actual NHL arena...

Not an option and it would be an additional 2 or 3 years

There's just no way the owners and the PA accepts that, I agree with you.

False.

They have a deal in place to use the current 4500 seat arena for a few more years.

the NHLPA will not be ok with their players and their family to move on short short notice this year. I say they play at the Mullet next season and plan a move for next year, would also be cheaper to break the lease with 1yr left instead of 2

I thought that is where the devils came from...
- Pat1993

the devils rose from a factory-and-airport-polluted swamp called northern new jersey.


fun fact (so fun!): one of the theories about what this mythical new jersey devil that people were writing about back then was, was that they were writing about the horrible mosquitoes in new jersey. especially back then before it was all developed and everything was forests with rain water settling on the ground and all. they were the devil to them! a scourge!

They planned to use that for 2-3-4 years til the arena got built.

So nothing really changes on that front.

they've been accepting the situation for quite some time now already, I don't get why they wouldn't have interjected before if they had the intention of doing so.

Was the plan really to build an arena over 4 years?

How slow are they? They don't even have to stop during winter.

they're still really bad in new jersey. you can't go near some lakes in the summer time. they will suck every last bit of blood out of you and your last bit of energy before you die will be used scratching your bites.

They expected 2-3 years after the agreement.

There was a 3 year lease in the 4,500 seat arena.

So at the start of the 4th season.

just to be clear here, if you need a rebuild.... it's A- because you're at the end of a cycle and won the cup more than once, let say like Chicago. right?
or B- because you missed the playoffs so many time the past 10 years, going nowhere, drfat like poop... might as well scrap it and start over again.

which one is it MB fans?

we have a pretty awful mosquito season in Quebec as well, depending on where you go.
