Owners see $$$$$.  ALOT More money to be had via expansion fees vs moving a club.

I think they can have both. New team in Seattle and then move Florida to Quebec or Houston. The fan support for the Panthers is truly embarrassing for the NHL. Looks small time.

A good time to move any of these failed markets ( Fla,NC, Zona ) is when Seattle enters the league to freshen up the NHL.

If the league was smart they’d finally admit some markets just don’t work and re-locate a team...but they won’t, mean while across the border a perfectly fine 400$ million dollar arena is collecting dust in Quebec City...

Preseason is a harder sell in most markets, and when you're in a market that already has just about the cheapest tickets around, even giving them away for free won't put butts in the seats. 3:30 start before a 7pm doubleheader and I'm not surprised.

 

Then again, I have very little interest in the Panthers moving. If they do, I could see Luongo making a bid to retire even sooner than he planned and us getting stuck with the recapture penalty.

What's the total revenue from that game?  Like max $5000?

You hit the nail on the head.  The 

Canadian fans are paying extra for our games to support these loser teams.  It’s a friggin joke, but the league know 

Canadians love hockey, so they exploit us.

Meanwhile, the Vegas Golden Knights have a stellar preseason opener attendance of 17,600+, nearly sold out.  Everyone in Vegas is excited for hockey to be back and still get excited about winning as usual...even acting like they are going to start the Cup parade already... I keep telling the fans to calm down, preseason means nothing! They still get way over-enthusiasm... :rolleyes:

Just wait until the Raiders get to town.

It will be interesting.
