Geez that's it? I think Chuck paid 185 million for the Islanders. I hope Winnipeg gets one of those teams. My guess is it will be Atlanta because Bettman has spent too much time trying to keep the Yotes in Phoenix to give up now. He won't stop trying until he's exhausted every single possible way to keep them their.

Forbes dude is speculating that the Thrashers will be sold for $110 million (that's it?!?). Also, if Winnipeg doesn't get the Yotes, True North will offer $170 million for the Thrashers ($60 million going towards a relocation fee).

Atlanta Thrashers Will Likely Be Sold For $110 Million - Mike Ozanian - SportsMoney - Forbes

Damn, that's cheap. Damn!!! Why couldn't I have hit that 380 megamillion lottery last year. Owning a hockey team would be cool. I'm sure I could get some of my SportsHoopla buddies to help me run it :high5:

Based on the fine work conducted by the Seals yesterday, bring back that name to the NHL (instead of Sacramento though, put them in Seattle).

Seattle Seals, I like it.

/Get started building that arena, Seattle.

The NHL already had the California Golden Seals. They were in the Bay area of California & owned by Charlie Finley.

I prefer the Seattle Thunder. Those games against the Lightning would be fun.:D

I like where you are going with this...

The Winnepeg Waters. (They will never get along with the Oilers)
The Manitoba Jesus. (Games vs the Devils would be biblical)
can always kick it old school and bring back the Jets... as long as they play the Sharks (ok, lame West Side Story reference)
The Sacremento Revolution. (The Kings will hate seeing them on the schedule)
The Hurricanes would be awsome in a natual disater battle with the Avalance ( oh, SHIT. Oh yeah. Nevermind)
Would love to see the Portland Polar Bears eat the Penguins for dinner.

Lots of possibilities...but I grow bored already...

Wrong pole man, and anyway, Orcas already eat Penguins for dinner. :p

I stand by my statements.
Pretty sure a Polar Bear would eat the fuck out of a penguin if given the opportunity.

Good point on those damn Orcas. 'DOH!
That's what thinking on bourbon does to ya, forget entire teams.
Meh, I'm on the east coast, so its not surprising I wouldn't even know they exist, anyway.
EAST COAST BIAS FTW.
