Of course the NBA, NFL, MLB and MLS just don't get it. Who da thunk? Btw the fees are all economically relative. A price of a ticket in 1970 was like $3.00 and up.... I adjusted for inflation. im sorry, but if you’re asking a new team to fork out $500m you need to give them an opportunity to be competitive. Vegas captures lightening in a bottle. Seattle doing the same thing is unlikely. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLS expansion teams regularly bolt out of the gate with impressive squads and i think the nfl (2002) and nba (2002) have not expanded in .. well .. quite a while so who knows what they might do if they are paid 1 billion or more by some expansion wannabee Edited December 18, 2019 by coastal.view 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithers joe Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 if we miss the playoffs this season, we should get another very good player. zavagorodny might look good on a line with podkolzin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyLow_ Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I don't really think it makes sense to go that big. We have foundational pieces already in the key positions you would target in a massive trade involving giving up our prime assets. Our center depth is looking very good moving forward, Hughes is looking like that number 1 D we've never had. We have Boeser at wing and probably Podz. The place I'd start is bringing symmetry to this disjointed line-up and clear out the log jam of bodies a bit. If we can get healthy I'd package Sutter and Stecher and see if we can't get a winger from teams like Ottawa (for example) that needs C and D help. Gaudette takes Sutter's spot, Fantenburg/Rafferty compete for 6th D. I'd be fine to move Madden and Woo and up to a 3rd round pick as well in a package if it gets us a top 6 wing. Trading our top assets should be a non starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I'd prefer to let our own prospects develop. Say what you want about Nonis, not pulling the trigger on a deal for Brad Richards was one of the best decisions in franchise history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
