Same thing almost happened with the Flames and Oilers... crap all of the Canadian teams with the exception of Toronto were having a really tough time.
Flames sold allot of their stars in the early 90's ever wonder why?
As for Winnipeg remember the NHL has around 45-50% of the players from Canada... Yes there is a crap load of them from Man. or Sask... etc.
I am sure some players would rather live in a smaller City versus New York
If Winnipeg gets a team they will have no problem attracting players...
