IF the asking price for vegas is $500, what is the NHL expecting out of quebec? relocation, they will do the NHL a favour! Just a guess!

I think for a change Bettman is right and Atlanta was a 1 off. There's more TV money now than in the past plus in sports a team that is the only tenant will never leave a modern facility. Atlanta was a perfect storm. It was right before the big Canadian TV deal, there was another tenant at the arena and they had god awful ownership that didn't want the team. Florida is making too much from concerts, the Coyotes have Sammy Chivara and I don't think Carolina is a bad enough market to move. Their attendance/leaked gate data history isn't as bad as Glendale and Florida. Plus Raleigh area is one of the fastest growing areas in either the states or Canada. there is more tv money....but not enough because of his incompetence. True there could be more TV money if the NHL had a real comissioner but it's still a lot harder for for a team to go under. As far as Glendale Sammy Chivara will ALWAYS make up for Bettman's incompetence of getting a crap US TV deal and oking a suburban arena with his own incompetence of always give more to the Coyotes. So all is well.
