If Phoenix can't support their NHL Coyotes then
they should be moved to a town where they're wanted.
For instance Winnipeg maybe ? Forget about Ontario.
Bettman won't let that happen because the Sabres
rely heavily on Canadian fans border hopping to see
a game. A 15,000 seat building full up is still better than
a 20,000 seat place half empty.
C'mon Bettman and governors, do the right thing eh.
For once. (as soon as Merc-retro is over with)

Heard Hamilton Ontario is the place. Anywhere in Canada is better
for a hockey team than Phoenix.

Hamilton, Winnepeg, what's the difference. Canada is hockey
nutso. Recall in the very early Fall 2008 where CBC had a
contest for a new theme for "Hockey Night in Canada" for
the coming hockey season. I followed the contest for quite
a while but missed out on who won. Hockey surrounds me
at times but for the most part I don't care. I want my Canadian
friends to be happy. If they can regain a lost team, then that's
what I want too.

Hamilton will be in a market saturated by the NHL with Toronto, Ottawa and Buffalo.

Either way I hope it spells the end of Bettman.

 He looks like he is from RR CEO/AAR mold.

Doesn't sound a whole lot different than pro sports between NY, Philly,
Washington DC, Baltimore, Boston. I would say those cities are close to each other.
I heard about the Hamilton relocate on ESPN. It could be bullshit or
the gospel. Sure Hamilton could support a NHL hockey team. No worries
about close proximity, just means a heated rivalry is born. Hamilton
has nearly 700,000 people in the city and the burbs. (that all love hockey)

Much larger markets....The NY/NJ market has 3 NHL teams....NJ & NY Rangers draw well......NY Islanders are less of a draw. The Ontario area only Toronto is the big market. Ottawa & Buffalo are medium size markets.

The mega east coast markets ejected the Hartford Whalers in the mid '90's...sitting between Boston & New York didn't help.

 Yeah.....I wonder what the market size of Hamilton is (Astro??...Steamer??) compared to Winnipeg and maybe even Quebec City.
