The player situation will only get worse, so this is a franchise destined to be at the bottom of the league for a very long time. They may go on a short run here and there, but they will be a feeder team to the bigger markets around the league for as long as they survive.

Wow.... I just started reading this thread ..... I have never been to Winnipeg but come on... Winnipeg may be a small market and cold but so is most of Canada's markets relative to the US .... peoples attitudes in this country are depressing .... these players that don't want to play here, for the most part, are FROM here ..... I'm hoping the day will come in this country when people here shed the ####ty image we have of ourselves... we are all very lucky .... Canada's money ......
