I agree, but you got a while to wait still buddy.
For a NHL team to come to Winnipeg under suitable conditions to stay long term within the next 5 years will require a super boom to happen in the city, an owner who has VERY deep pockets, AND a new arena cause lets not kid ourselves they're going to need more seats and luxury boxes since that is the standards for modern NHL arenas now. Winnipeg getting a team within the next 5 years is nothing more then a pipedream.
Plus there are other cities ahead of you on the list of getting a team before Winnipeg under it's current conditions. Kansas City, Houston, Seatle, Portland, Hartford, Hamiltion and others and even Las Vegas would be more suited for a NHL team.
