With the new generation running the Hawks, it's possible they might be more willing to let a team locate in Milwaukee. I believe they'd still be entitled to compensation, however.

Ridiculous if that's the case, 100 miles apart and even different states. Milwaukee has 2 million people for christ sake. I hope that greedy prick Bill Wirtz continues to f*u* himself in the grave.
