pittsburgh should relocate to winnepeg.  their fans are great there.  they have more people who would watch the games .  that would put detroit  in the eastern conference where they belong.  the face of the west would change dramatically if it happened.

I think the beginning of the next decade is a more reasonable timetable. Remember, they have to build around Crosby and the kid is barely 19!\n\nThey have the right coach in place (finally). Next year, Evgeny Malkin comes over plus one of the top five picks in a deep draft. They still need a reliable defense. Gonchar was disgustingly bad this year.\n\nThe BIGGER question is what town they end up playing in. The lease runs out on the Igloo at the end of next season, and they have no sign of an arena deal on the horizon. How does the Hartford Penguins sound to you?

it would take too long to travel to other hockey countries like russia, sweden, czech republic etc.  canada and the u.s. are in the same contintent so that makes it easier.

He's not with the NHL anymore, but Chris Luongo is my cousin. He played for the Senators & the New York Islanders before moving to Germany.\n\nAnd no, not the same family as the "other" Luongo from Florida. :o)

Well, Vancouver is a  huge city so it has a chance of getting a new frachise to come there. I don't blame their fans for not coming to their games because they sucked at that time too. Seattle Sonics might have to move to another city and Vancouver sounds like a solid option. Other cities have lost a frachise and gotten it back in the past: Charlotte and New Orleans in the NBA. Cleveland in the NFL.

After Toronto, look for Cleveland, Portland, Milwaukee, Rochester, Phili or St Louis.  MLS will need a team in the East to bring KC back to West, I'd bet on Cleveland or Milwaukee.

It is possible. But in order for that to happen they will need a new owner. The current owner cares more about his other team (redwings), and is clueless when it comes to baseball.\n\nUnfortunately, mike ilitch is stubborn and doesnt see the neglect he has caused. The Detroit Tigers used to be a proud franchise, under his regime they havent had a winning (.500 or better) in 12 years (2006 will be 13).\n\nHe says he wants a winner and that he cares...but he really is talking about his hockey team.

Different teams stay at different locations.  None that I know of stay at the Rogers Centre

NHL was rejected by ESPN, not the other way.  I get OLN.  ESPN will never get the NHL back.  They will sign elsewhere.

Interesting question,  i wonder if anyone from Hartford cared that the Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup.\n\nI certainly would not pull for any local team if they moved away.

I grew up in Buffalo am now living in Michigan. This would be a dream series  Sabres vs Red Wings.  Wouldn't care who won but if I was a betting person Stanley will establish residency in Detroit.

the population is too small.  their money is worth half of an american dollar which amounts to the player getting paid less.  they have great fans but the teams can't get arenas to fill up unless the more popular teams come to town.  the arenas are costly to build.  the nhl has six canadian teams.
