I think having your farm team located in enemy territory is a mistake. The deal is nice. So is the proximity. But it asks to much of the local fan base and media IMO.

Agreed.
Heat games aren't even on the radio in Vancouver, only online. That simply isn't healthy for a professional sports team. They need to relocate this team, as soon as possible to a region that actually wants it there.
A recent radio spot on Team1040 promoting this weekend's past games, shouted out everything that was great about the OKC, and mentioned nothing about the Heat. Come see the OKC play! AHL leading scorer Justin Schultz! Hot young stars Eberle, Nugent-Hopkins and Hall! Can't miss it!
It was embarrassing. The sad thing is, the Heat would have had to ok the spot, so they certainly aren't doing themselves any favours.
