Is Atlanta going to risk the hat trick of failure?

The third time could be the charm for Atlanta. We need a new arena in Cobb County. We also need a new ownership group besides the ones who own the Hawks. They never wanted to own a hockey team.

I would pick Houston over Salt Lake City. Quebec is probably never going to get another team.

The all-time highlight of Atlanta hockey

Last thing the NHL needs is MORE teams.
There are already too many teams.

But of course expansion $$ talks, regardless of the overall product.

Is the NHL actually planning to have more teams than the NFL?

I just wish that Cleveland and Kansas City would have professional hockey again.

Columbus should have an Ohio rival...why not let it be Cleveland?

I won't doubt The NHL will have 40 teams soon...not only will Salt Lake City, Atlanta, Cleveland, and Kansas City would be nominees...but Saskatchewan, Houston, Quebec, and Milwaukee would be in the talks.

Jim Craig had only a cup of coffee in four games for the Flames.

This was my best memory of Atlanta Thrashers hockey. It's from their first and only playoffs appearance. Hockey can work in Atlanta with a winning team and good ownership group.

Hockey is my favourite sport buddy!!

Of the two potential Atlanta ownership groups, they both want to build an arena 50 miles out of town- I don’t know Atlanta but that seems like a bad idea - look at the Coyotes and their mess.

Quebec City already has a state of the art arena that they fill every night, all they need is an ownership group that can put up 2B for expansion fee and Bettman to give them a chance

Baltimore should get a hockey team before Kansas City does.

Report: Arizona Coyotes 2024-25 NHL schedule has Salt Lake City relocation version

>>>Dailyfaceoff.com reported Wednesday that the NHL is drafting two versions of the Coyotes' schedule for next season, one with the team playing at ASU's Mullett Arena, and the other with the team playing in Salt Lake City at Delta Center, the home of the Utah Jazz, according to "multiple sources."<<<

More smoke. How abundant is the coyote population in Utah?

Arizona Coyotes players informed NHL franchise will be moving to Salt Lake City, per reports

The plan as of now, the Arizona Coyotes will keep the name and logo and franchise history in Arizona, the team in Utah will have a new name (how about Utah Settlers, Utah Searchers). The present owner will have 5 years to secure a site, funding for a new arena and will then be awarded a franchise (he will have to pay an entry fee). I feel sorry for the Utah taxpayers funding another sports arena for a billionaire but that's their problem. The Arizona arena will be privately funded.

The Coyotes situation is a complete mess - like it always has been- things can’t go worse for the “Utah Hockey Club” - the team’s official current name.

I don’t think Muerulo can get his crap together to build a new area and bring back the Coyotes in 5 years, he’s only allowed to sell off something like 30% of the ownership to investors and he really doesn’t seem to know what he’s doing

I think Houston will get a team and Atlanta will probably get another shot, hopefully both at once, but any more after that is probably slim chances
