Katz thinks Coyotes won't move
I love the comments made by Thomas Steen in this article. He truly puts Ilya Bryzgalov's earlier comments into perspective. I can assure you that you do not require an armed escort to travel around Winnipeg. This is just one more piece of evidence proving what Winnipeggers have known all along; This is a good place for NHL hockey.
Regarding Mayor Sam Katz's comments, it is unfortunate that he is not of the belief that the Coyotes will relocate to Manitoba anytime in the near future. Regardless of what franchise does decide to move it is still clear that all of the elements are in place for a hockey club to thrive in the community. Could it be the Atlanta Thrashers? They have seen dismal attendance and rumor has it that a sale could be in the works.
What about the Nashville Predators? There has been much talk in the media about that clubs possible movement. You would not know they were having any problems in Nashville if you watched a playoff game being held in that city. The stands appear to be packed and the place is roaring. It appears at least to me that Nashville has the fans to support a club, so i am not sure what the issue is there.
Whatever the case may be, we eagerly await the finale to this 15 year old question. Will Winnipeg return to the NHL?
