Stan Kroenke said that he wants a NHL team in San Diego since they are going to be building a fresh state of the art stadium.

Do you think they'll move the Ducks to San Diego?

@dreamcage1801 Ай бұрын

@@adamrothsteinhockey I hear the Ducks are getting their arena renovated

@robserrano8971 Ай бұрын

STAN SHOULD BUY THE ANAHEIM DUCKS MOVE DEM TO SAN DIEGO AND REBRAND AS SAN DIEGO GULLS OR ARMADA. THEN MOVE THE SAN DIEGO GULLS TO ANAHEIM AND REBRAND AS ANAHEIM DUCKS.

Wisconsin needs a team so Minnesota can build a rivalry

Do you think the Fiserv Forum could be a good home for a potential Milwaukee NHL team?

@WowOafus Ай бұрын

@@adamrothsteinhockey I don’t know what the best option would be, but with how much of a rivalry we have with the badgers for hockey, I think them building an arena wouldn’t be too far of a stretch

MILWAUKEE ADMIRALS NEED TO LEVEL UP TO NHL AND HAVE A FARM TEAM IN GREEN BAY AND IN WISCONSIN DELLS.

@cglasford1 18 сағат бұрын

@@robserrano8971 why are you yelling? haha but I don't think the NHL would let them level up but I agree 100% that Milwaukee needs an NHL team. There is an established hockey market in WI. That is my #1 vote for the next expansion team.

Wow ..no Hartford?

@adamrothsteinhockey Ай бұрын

The reason Why I didn't put Hartford on the list is because they only have a population of about 120,000 people. Also, The Whalers have been gone for nearly 30 years now. The NHL fans who live in or just outside of Connecticut are either Rangers fans, Islanders fans, Devils fans or Bruins fans. As cool as it would be to have them back, the market would be too crowded for them to get their feet off the ground.

@Alan-lv9rw Ай бұрын

Bring back the Hartford Whalers. Their merch still sells a lot. They had a loyal following and the best logo in NHL history.

@WowOafus Ай бұрын

I wish they made a Whalers jersey in the Carolina colors

@shaunhickey7233 16 күн бұрын

You said the reason they will never come back. Same as Nordiques. They sell more merchandise on those teams then half the current league. Its like 2 extra teams already in revenue

Once again it wasn't the fans that hurt hockey in Atlanta it was horrible ownership both times. Atlanta will get an expansion team as far as NC having two teams no chance in hell even though most people still thank the Hurricanes play in Charlotte rather than Raleigh

If you were going to Omaha, the Demigarch WWarren Buffett would have to pay for it, and he's such a cheapskate that I think it's a nonstarter.

Houston is not the 4th largest media market. They are the 4th largest city by population. The most recent DMA market rankings had Houston 7th for media market size. Just FYI.

@cglasford1 18 сағат бұрын

if they are going to add 4 more teams it should be Milwaukee, Portland, Quebec City, maybe Indianapolis or Hartford. Keep the teams in established hockey markets.

40 NHL TEAMS BY 2040. 10 TEAMS IN CANADA. OR 9 TEAMS AND 1 IN MEXICO. LIKE THE MONTERREY EAGLES.

@PeterHKwok Ай бұрын

What if one new team is in Saskatoon & another in Monterrey, Mexico with a big ski resort in the only Latin American IIHF country (Arizona native Auston Matthews' heritage) with a traditional hockey-like game pelota purépecha & is only an 8 & 9 hour drive from Houston & Dallas respectively?

@yetimelly523 Ай бұрын

"God" of KC said KC is a "No go" for hockey because Hunt said we don't need hockey in KC. So there is your answer on that.

@yetimelly523 Ай бұрын

Bettman dgaf about Canadian teams. He wants Arizona, Atlanta, Houston, and more western US teams possibly Portland and Omaha.

We need the WHA back Hartford Milwaukee Indianapolis Houston Cleveland Cincinnati Quebec City Hamilton Saskatoon Toronto Birmingham San Diego hockey gets stale when it has no competition we need a rival league Hockey was exciting in the 70's when MR Hockey said "it was a good league" players who don't get a chance get a chance. At the end of the WHA they where on par with the NHL. Ignoring these markets are just to there own detriment .

Non of us will live to see an NHL Mexican expansion, there's 0 interest about hockey down here

@robertlong7033 Ай бұрын

Too many NHL teams having folded I think the NHL should reconsider expansion. It's a sport that simply doesn't have the level of fan interest as does the 3 other largest professional sports.

@adamrothsteinhockey Ай бұрын

I agree with you. But knowing Bettman, he will definitely want to expand.

@davidedwards3838 Ай бұрын

There will be no new Canadian teams until Bettman is gone.

I WOULD ADD EXPANSION TEAMS ARIZONA COYOTES 2.0, ATLANTA THRASHERS 2.0, HOUSTON AEROS OR PUMAS, NEW ORLEANS NAVIGATORS, PORTLAND LUMBERJAX, MILWAUKEE ADMIRALS, BALTIMORE STALLIONS OR ARMADA, OKLAHOMA CITY OUTLAWS OR TWISTERS, KANSAS CITY SCOUTS OR MUSTANGS, HARTFORD WHALERS OR COLONIALS, MONTERREY EAGLES. IF STAN K WANTS A TEAM IN SAN DIEGO, THEN HE CAN BUY THE ANAHEIM DUCKS AND MOVE THE TEAM TO SAN DIEGO STAN CAN REBRAND TO SAN DIEGO GULLS THE BRAND HAS A FAN BASE ALREADY. OR TO THE SKIPPERS, SIMILAR TO WHA MARINERS. RELOCATE SAN DIEGO GULLS AHL TEAM TO ANAHEIM AND REBRAND TO ANAHEIM DUCKS AS RELOCATION AHL TEAM. WIN, WIN FOR EVERYONE. STAN HAS NO PROBLEM DEVELOPING AROUND HONDA CENTER. ARROWHEAD POND SOUNDED BETTER, IMO.

@robserrano8971 Ай бұрын

I would add QUEBEC NORIQUES with HALIFAX LIONS as their farm team. HAMILTON TIGERS OR HAMMERS with WINDSOR AVIATORS as their farm team. SASKATOON CARIBOU with REGINA GREY WOLVES as their farm team. After Bettman is gone.

@mr.brenman2132 Ай бұрын

Bettman speaks on the behalf of the ownership. Including Canadian ownership obviously. It makes zero business sense to put another team in Canada.

@davidedwards3838 Ай бұрын

@mr.brenman2132 you mean like the good for business like Arizona? Look how long Bettman hung on to that mess for. Of course toronto and Montréal don't want another team in the east of Canada. But the rest of the owners would get paid for it.
