Assuming the Canucks want to try again for Abbotsford, then that places them in a poor spot with the minor league team. Peoria isn't happy about losing their team, but I doubt they'd support a lame duck season. Nor would nearly anywhere else. Playing in Vancouver directly might be the best short term option, and certainly helps both Abbotsford and the rest of the AHL from a travel perspective.

I suggested the Pacific Coliseum rather than Rogers Arena because I think more money can be made on the other events held in the arena than they will lose in paying rent, if Rogers Arena sat empty between Canuck games I would agree with you, but I am guessing it hosts other major events in the city as well.
