Visp Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Just a scenario, The Aquilini's pool some money together and buy-move/create an ECHL franchise tomorrow named the XX (BC maybe?) Canucks, playing out of Rogers Arena. The real Canucks then 'loan' their entire team to the ECHL franchise. Canucks fans get to watch hockey with the real Canucks under a different name (will be at least close full capacity)... The Aquilini's still get the revenue from the Arena/merchandise (hell I would buy a BC Canucks ECHL jersey for a keepsake!), the players would get some salary minus some % to stay within ECHL rules? and get to play hockey (and win). The coaching/management staff could all stay. If the NHL starts December the ECHL team folds or becomes an affiliate, if the lockout continues all season, the BC Canucks win the ECHL championship and gain confidence for the next NHL season. Everybody wins and we piss Bettman etc off by still playing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susraiders Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 We would have to waive everybody because the ECHL is affiliated with the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
