Some people in Winnipeg want to bring the NHL back up North. I don’t want to sound half baked, but I think it could work, with a new CBA to curb salaries to reasonable levels. Certainly the potential market is much bigger in Winnipeg than it is in Mexico City, which is the next logical place for the NHL to try an expansion franchise.
There’s even a website for the Return of the Jets Campaign with all the information you ever wanted to not read.
I think the NHL will be changed by the CBA talks coming up. I think there will be a labor stoppage, and I think the league might not survive it, to be supplanted by another league or something (if they’re not careful.) I honestly don’t care, as long as good hockey gets played for the Stanley Cup every year. That will happen even if the NHL dies a horrible death. That much history will survive. Won’t it?
