How does putting a team in Las Vegas make any sense?
Casinos and businesses buy season tickets for the first few years till the fad fades away. Didn't the CFL put a football team there before? How did that turn out?
65 percent of Vegas population works in the evening/night, when games are being played. This is not a grass roots hockey environment at all. There is good reason why there are no pro sports teams in Vegas.
People will travel to Vegas to watch hockey? People travel to Vegas to gamble and what not. Hockey, is not the what not!
I hope I am wrong. I do believe the NHL should expand and adding two more teams would be good. I think Seattle is the perfect place. Vegas though?
