Vegas - Phoenix Coyotes 2.0

Book it

[Nick]

I don't think they would have trouble getting fans, interest...

[Arian The Insider]

I think Las Vegas could he successful but Tony is our Nevada insider so I'll listen to him.

[The BBKL Insider]

Leafs listening to offers

[Nick]

I would love to see us admit that this core won't see us win a cup.


Trade Phaneuf, Kessel, Bozak, Franson

Admit that to win, your #1 C should be a priority, and the Top Dman needs to have elite skating in the game today. Focus on those skills sets.

Not like we'd be too easy or too soft - still have the grit...

burn it down. Trade Clarkson and his TTC rides

[Nick]

Clarkson is meh, worth nothing - but he competes and wouldn't hurt to have around with some young kids, same thought I have with Lupul.

[Florida Chris]

Not a huge fan of Clarkson, but it at least looks to appear like he wants to play in Toronto...

[Nick]

I guess the same is likely true for Dion... It's just hard separating him from the #1 role , his bone head errors and that 7M

[Handsome&FairMike]

Kinda lame on all these top guys bowing out for ASG... crosby in particular - has only played 1 in his career.

Anyways, stumbled upon this while dicking around - pretty sick POV. http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/consol ... 22&lang=en

Bob out at least a month per reports

It would be interesting to have an expansion draft in BBKL. I think it would be fun to own the Las Vegas team too.

Also, assuming Seattle goes to the pacific division, does Las Vegas go to the Central, or does Vegas also go pacific, and Arizona goes Central?

[LeanMachine]

Actually looking at the map, I figure Bettman would move EDM + CGY to the central. Sucks to lose the rival VAN but I mean they with have Seattle. EDM + CGY are more geographically central anyway.

[Matthew]

But then they would need to move 1 team back to the pacific. moving both calgary and edmonton to the central would give the central 9 teams. And they wont split edmonton and Calgary up. If they did that Colorado would go back to the Pacific. Either that, or has to be arizona or Las Vegas in the central.

[LeanMachine]

I think they would move Colorado back

[LeanMachine]

I just don't see Arizona+ Las Vegas going central. I mean, the market is with the California teams.

[Arian The Insider]

I'm sure the owners would love the big expansion fee
