Maybe if the NHL made that much money, then it wouldn't be that much of an issue business wise to give Winnipeg a club again. But shoot, I doubt the NFL would even bother giving a team to Green Bay in this day and age if they didn't have one already. Packers are a fairly unique franchise in the North American landscape.

and if a strike happens in the NFL and owners slide on the idea of a salary cap the Green Bay Packers may in time suffer the same fate Winnipeg has.
