I feel sorry for the fans in Phoenix; I know what it's like when a franchise with a small but rabid fan base gets moved, its a slap in the face.
I do wonder about the fate of the Moose in the event of a Phoenix move. Move the Moose to Abbotsford and the Heat to a Calgary area facility would be ideal for both parent clubs, and probably make western AHL swings more feasible, but the lawyers and leaseholders might have something to say about that.
