I heard today from a member of the banking industry that a 180 million dollar transaction was made involving a Winnipeg based company and an unknown source in the United States. This may not sound like big news but in a city of 600,000 residents, a transaction involving 180 million dollars gets noticed. This figure is very similar to the price asked for the Phoenix Coyotes and with all the rumors swirling around about their relocation after the playoffs, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to put two and two together.
Hopefully this is not yet another rumor and I have now contributed to the controversey that is NHL in Winnipeg, but, I remain hopeful that we will one day see the return of the Winnipeg Jets, in one form or another.
