The market gets crapped on because the franchise has struggled for more than a decade and the vast majority of CP has never ventured to North Carolina. Tickets were scarce when they were new to town or making the conference or cup finals, but with 14 losing seasons in 19 years, people don't want to watch the home team get shelled every night.

The Canes still get way more media attention than other US hockey cities I have been in and people genuinely are excited when they string 3-4 wins in a row. If Francis can turn them into a consistent playoff team they will have the support to be another Nashville or San Jose.

This is the perfect time for someone with deep pockets to buy low and bet that Francis can build a winner.
