Agreed. Houston is a very good situation for a potential NHL team and just requires some confidence in the market. The current prospective owner has that confidence and has deep pockets. And a state of the art arena sitting empty many nights. He’s also not stupid and I don’t believe he is going to pay half a billion for a team. But if there were no barriers to moving a team I’m sure he and Edwards could come to agreement relatively easily.
