Personally, I'm not to thrilled on ANY team going to Las Vegas. My biggest gripe? There are no true hockey fans in Vegas. Everyone at the games will simply be vacationers comp'd tickets by their hotels. At least that is my opinion. Put a team where there are true fans. So the direct answer to your question, NO.

Nossagog: Do you think that Phoenix will move to another city in the next 5 years?

I'VE said so on many occasions. The well is running dry in Arizona. There are hardly any fans, no TV contract and the team is being badly mismanaged. They haven't iced a good team since JR left the first time. It's no longer a question of "if", but "when" the team is going to move.

Ads: No. I think they will move north. Possible destinations include Portland, Hartford or maybe even Winnipeg (Wouldn't THAT be something?!). That's assuming that Bettman gets what he wants in having the Preds move to KC. An NHL team in the entertainment and gambling capital of the world? The league would be seen as more of a joke than it already is. The other 3 major sports have already balked at the idea. If Bettman wants to move into Vegas he should at least wait for another league to move in first or he will cause serious damage to the NHL's claim of being one of the "big 4".
