I have changed my mind completly today. No longer do I want the Coyotes. Keep em Bouw. I want the Thrashers. Realistically it makes more sense for everyone involved.
As far as the naysayers go, the differences between Winnipeg from today and 16 years ago are numerous.
More small business.
More home ownership
More housing starts
More disposable income
Lowest unemployment in Canada
NHL ready arena owned by the people who will own the team, complete with revenue generating boxes and suites the old barn didnt have.
Keep your head in the sand if you want but Winnipeg today is ready for an NHL team, come, join our reindeer games. The night the Jets skate out on the ice for the first time in 15~ years will be a night for all Canadians, not just Winnipegers.
