Bring a team back to Canada... Winnipeg Penguins!

Every time someone brings hockey to Kansas City they end up with egg on their face. We had the Blues back in the 70's and they had to move to St. Louis. In recent years there have been two different minor league teams here and both had to fold. The city will not build them a new arena, so forget it.

once again it comes down to greed. the penguins want this state of the art arena when the one they have is just fine (the same thing could have been said for the steelers/pirates) but until they actually put a team worth watching on the ice...there wont be any money

The current stadium in Pittsburgh is the oldest in the NHL and is also the smallest in the NHL and is too small to produce profits. This year the pens will still lose $7 million even if they operate at near capacity every game and make it to the second round of the playoffs.

THe penguins do put out a good team, its just that they don't play well. How the fuck do the Pirates get a new stadium, yet the Penguins (which have one 2 stanley's in the past 15 years) don't get shit? Hockey>Baseball

I think the only city in Canada that could support a team would be Windsor. (or South Detroit) The only reason teams leave Canada is because of cash

Any canadian city would love a team, and build a new staduim in a heart beat if the cash was there.

I know they would love a team but when it comes time to talk cash it just isnt there, thats why I believe it would have to be a border town with the US to help with that. There are alot of fans in the Detroit area that would go over there (Windsor) to see hockey

The Rangers did that for the past 5 years. Didn't work until now. Throwing players together doesn't usually work.

You're exactly right. It is because of cash. And now with the new CBA in place and salary cap, Winnipeg would be able to compete, and thus would make money.

Look at all the Canadian teams now. Their all in playoff positions. I would be willing to bet that every regular season game in all the canadian cities have been sold out thus far. It wouldn't be any different in Winnipeg, or Quebec City for that matter.

The NHL has a platform whereby teams can exist in smaller markets. Remember in 03/04? Where were all the players? NY, Detroit, Toronto etc. All those cities could afford big name players.

What happens with the new CBA? Pronger goes to Edmonton, Iginla resigns in Calgary, heck, even Columbus picked up federov, which has been a total waste of money, but it still proves the point that smaller markets can now survive as well.

Bring Back the White Out.
