PRO
Should get good support from being the only professional sports team in town. That is, after the Blue Bombers move to Phoenix
CON
Players will find it even more undesirable than Edmonton —due to Winnipeg being exactly like Edmonton
CON
A new team will threaten the Maples Leafs’ monopoly and will mean they’ll need a good product to compete with the upstart franchise
PRO
That good product will always be 5 years from now. Same as it was 30 years ago.
PRO
Visiting players will be so distracted by the night life; the home team has a good chance to win.
CON
The home team players will be so distracted partying with the visiting players, the game’s entertainment value will be surpassed by Celine Dion.
PRO
Renew the Canadiens/Nordiques rivalry. And by ‘rivalry’ we mean Montreal
CON
It won’t appease the fans who want to “bring the NHL back to Canada ” because Quebec won’t technically be in Canada
PRO
Players will be close to their offseason homes in the Caribbean .
CON
The Canadian media will scare away the Sunbelt fans with their hockey-doesn’t-belong-in-the-south talk. What? You mean that’s not the only reason teams aren’t selling out in Phoenix , Atlanta and Miami
PRO
When they can’t sell out their games, no one can blame them for being too far south.
CON
Their warm-up music will be nothing but Nirvana on repeat.
PRO
Arena in place and just needs some upgrades.
CON
As a child, Bettman was bullied whenever he went to Computer Camp near Hamilton
PRO
Arena is very new and very empty
CON
After what they named their team in the ‘70’s, they might name their team the “Girl Guides”. We can’t take that chance.
PRO
City already supports veteran hockey players on the Connecticut Whale.
CON
They are a poor representation as they are named Wade Redden and Todd White.
