That could very well be true. But, to be quite honest, in my opinion. I do not care whether Winnipeg or any Canadian city gets an NHL franchise at all. If Phoenix was to relocate to an American city vs a Canadian one, good for them. It wouldnt matter to me.
I can see the rational behind any Canadian city wanting an NHL franchise, especially Winnipeg though, as the citizens in most cities in Canada will always want a Professional Sports team from a tier one type league, when they dont have one (and as previous posters mentioned, and I agree, the Bombers and CFL dont count). I just cant see it happening anytime soon.
