bettman, the commissioner who has never played hockey and is American sent it to Phoenix. Now they are in 4th place and get 5000 fans a game and only exist because of the BS revenue sharing and the salary cap. I saw a game there when I was down for Barrett Jackson. It was bizarre, very different from seeing a game in Toronto.
When someone tried to buy it back the NHL blocked the sale otherwise they would be an hour from Toronto right now filling 20,000 seats every night.
