What are the chances of an NHL team relocating to Oklahoma City?
Wіth thе gο οf thе NBA’s Seattle Supersonics tο Oklahoma City, whаt аrе thе chances thаt one οf thе more financially vulnerable NHL franchises сουld gο tο OKC? Anaheim аnd Nashville seem lіkе thеу′re ripe tο gο, аnd thе Ford Center wаѕ really built tο better suit аn NHL franchise rаthеr thаn аn NBA team.
Honestly, If logic means anything anymore, it says place a team back in Winnepeg previous to Id place one in OKlahoma. No offense but Simple math says theres more hockey fans in just the city of Winnepeg alone (who already had the Jets years ago) than there are the whole state of Oklahoma. If I were commish Id try to get as many teams in Canada and in Northern America as possible, the game is played there and the majority of the players in the NHL are from those areas.. It boils down to what city would support an NHL franchise best… there may be hope… the NHL does have an idiot named Gary Bettman in succession it so you just never know.
Slim or NONE!… WHY? Seattle and Vegas and Kansas City are all ahead of OKLA CITY as far as in the USA (not including Canada)
About the same as a team moving to Phoenix Arizona. Oh wait that has already happened. Well than maybe after a team has went to South Florida. Oh that has happened too.
Maybe a go to Oklahoma City wouldn’t be out of the question. I know they had a sweet excellent CHL (Central Hockey League) team in the ’60′s. Used to be linked to Boston in some way if I remember.
I Don’t Expect That To Happen.
