Re: Michigan Tech Offseason Thread

If Johnson's Jersey's is on the ball, he might be able to get a Phoenix and a Quebec jersey out of that signing.
 
Re: Michigan Tech Offseason Thread

It was on twitter yesterday that Brett Olson will be part of the MN Wild Development Camp next week.

The MN Wild development camp will have open to the public scrimmages on July 12 at 7PM and July 15 at 11AM.

Nothing against Phoenix, but I hope they do move that franchise back to Canada. Based on the way RIM / Blackberry stock is going, I don't think it will be in Hamilton, ONT. In many cases, Canada just lacks the finances to get more teams, but the don't lack anything in terms of fans. Just look at the Maple Leafs - they've sucked for decades and have no problem finding fans.

In the "engineer wants to know category..." what happens with the Pre-2000s Winnipeg Jets records? Do they revert to the "New" Jets or do they stay with the current franchise? For example does Teemu Selanne hold the single season goal scoring record for "New Jets" or Phoenix/"Old Jets"

I already contacted the Wings this morning and asked if there would be a "former player" discount on the Conner jerseys.

I'd enjoy seeing a franchise in Quebec City again, personally. Otherwise, I dunno... maybe out in the Maritimes somewhere? Can't think of any city besides Quebec that has both the population to support a team, and no existing team.

Otherwise, my secret dream is to see a new Seattle Millionaires :D

They built a second 19,000 seat arena in the Toronto area with no team to fill... They could support a second team

Eh, maybe. Having an empty 19,000 seat arena doesn't mean they have the public interest to fill the arena. Besides, the NHL was leery of allowing a Hamilton franchise with its proximity to both Toronto and Buffalo - having a second franchise in Toronto proper would go over like a lead balloon.

The main investor of the Chicago Wolves has DEEP pockets, and is NHL Friendly (they like him and his money, unlike MLB who told him to pound sand when he wanted to buy the Cubs). There has been a lot of smoke regarding an expansion/relocated franchise in Seattle. It's just hinging on securing a new arena.

(From Wikipedia)

If/when the Phoenix Coyotes move to Wherever, Quebec; they will still hold the PHX and WPG1.0 records. Unless the Coyotes are folded, and an expansion franchise is awarded. Then, the Jets 1.0 records are documented in history and that's it.

No, we talked about Hamilton already, and he was referring to a Toronto-area arena (probably.)

What, and omit Buffalo?

Well Buffalo doesn't have as many fans to begin with (ranked #17 in terms of % of capacity sold last year), so they are not worried about losing what they don't have... Toronto has a strangle-hold on their market and has average attendance of almost 104% of capacity. Much like the Packers, they can fill the building and have a long wait list of folks wanting tickets all at the same time. And that's they way, uh-huh uh-huh, they like it.
Toronto was only in favor of NHL expansion if UAH was to be the team so there would be someone the Leafs could beat on a regular basis...

Toronto to hockey is like NY to all the pro sports. They can easily handle and fill two ice arenas. Speaking of ice arenas Mac has a leaky roof?
