Lebron James signing in Miami to play for the heat has affected many NBA franchises, notabley Cleveland. But does lebron have the power to affect franchises not even in his league? Most notabley the florida panthers.
Florida is currently one of the worst attended NHL teams with a below 80% rink filling average per game.
