I love the raging youtube comments controversy about if Jeri Ryan is in the video… personally, i like the contortionist girl better

The NHL does not care about who has hockey tradition, they care about where they can make money. AEG has already made it clear that anyone who wants to move to KC will make money.

I think the Coyotes are more likely than the Islanders. They are bankrupt and need an owner. Wang I think is just using KC as a chip to get a new arena in the Lighthouse Project.

“Besides that, KC’s a borderline-sized market for pro sports teams. The NBA’s already failed here, and the taxpayers had to kick in a bunch of money to get the Chiefs and Royals to stay.”

I think that’s a fair point, but I’m not going to stop an owner who wants to move here. Let them determine if this is a good market or not. As for taxpayers spending a bunch fo money to get teams to stay – well that happens everywhere! Look at how much NYC taxpayers spent on the Yankees!

“As a matter of fact, I think there actually was a hockey team here once and they moved it somewhere else after a couple of years, but that was before my time.”

The Scouts. That failed for a number of reasons that have little to do with the NHL and the KC market now. It was the 70s, the NHL was still a garage league outside of the Original Six, KC’s ownership was ridiculously under-capitalized, Kemper Arena was a poor location, and there was no TV coverage. The NHL is much different now, as is KC’ situation.

“Put me down on the list against spending a dime of taxpayers’ money on getting an NHL team.”

That ship has already sailed. We have already built the Sprint Center. May as well put a team there so we can recoup some of our money.

but I could be wrong.
