This would be awesome. The NHL needs the 3rd biggest market back in the game. I hate it when people use Chicago & Boston as examples of Original Six markets who no longer like hockey. No, those 2 markets just hate giving money to North America's two worst owners. There isn't a fanbase in sports those two couldn't scare away.
Between the sports that can sign local TV contracts, MLB, NBA & NHL, is there another owner who has taken the stance as Wirtz has in saying TV will cost him at the gate?
Well that's the good news if it happens & the bad news
