(User Info | Send a Message) | As much as i support canadian hockey, i don't know if another expansion team is what we need to get rid of the depth problem in the league.
If Winnipeg comes into the League after the supposed lockout, sure enough, player salaries would probably be lowered but they still won't be able to compete in the free agent market nor would they be able to keep all their top guns if they develop.
They'll be the next Edmonton Oilers with less support from their fans and probably less talent.
If there was more depth, i'm all for another shot at the winnipeg jets, but the problem is, as thin as the depth is stretched out, another team would seriously not help the league.
I can so see the Jets, ironically going against their name, playing the trap that smaller market teams need to, in order to win because they lack forward depth. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | I'm not really sure what the deal is with the new WHA (as far as how many teams, their locations -rumor has it that it could be a trans-atlantic league with a Swedish division in order to capitlize on the many star Swedes wishing to retire to their home countries, aka Forsberg, Lidstrom) but this lower priced, lower talent league might fit Winnipeg's economics better. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | They should move 3 southern US teams on the brink of success (Anaheim, Dallas, Atlanta, Tampa?) to Winnipeg, Quebec City and Hamilton. Redistribute the dis. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | I have no problem with Winnipeg getting the Jets back. Hell, I'd love to see Quebec get a team again too, but expansion is not the way. In order for this to work, the NHL is going to have to move an up-and-comming team to Winnipeg. If they go by means of expansion, they will add on teams to an already over-expanded league. So, in order for the Jets to come back (and I will pray that they do) it will have to be via some other organization. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | You're definitely not getitng an expansion team. The NHL will not go past 30 teams. You'll have to buy a current team and move it to Winnipeg and hope the NHL approves the move of a hockey team TO a small market NHL city which I think is doubtful. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | Winnipeg is a dying prairie city. An NHL team would never survive there, nor would NHL players want to play in Manitoba. This is coming from a former Manitoban, so I'm not saying this to be an asshole or anything, but Winnipeg is becoming a dead-end, washed up city. How is it supposed to compete in an NHL market? The Jets will never be back in the NHL. Time to let it go. Embrace the Moose. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | I thought the Jets played in New York....or were they one of those one-hit "family bands" in the 80's, with more hair gel then talent?
At least we'd get to see the Sharks and the Jets sing and dance... gee, Officer Krupke...
See what I'm reduced to when they don't rotate articles quickly enough........ |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | This would be pheonominal for the city of Winnipeg. Nashville is close to pulling the plug on their dying franchise, and I can't see Florida being in great shape either. Carolina, Phoenix, and Tampa after they miss the playoffs this upcomming year will surely be hot topics to move in the not too distant future. |
