the same old "south doesn't deserve their teams, fold them and move them north" gets old every year.
quebec got the relocated ahl atlanta knights and they folded in two years(yeah, i know, not nhl, but still...).
i'm all for an expasion team in winnipeg or quebec, but this attempt to convince the nhl that they are more worthy, in an attepmt to "steal" the team is stupid.
also, take a look at the standings numbers instead of the attendance right now.
the southeast have 3 teams in playoff position, and are a combined 8 points over the next div in the east.
atlanta's attendance will get better now that they are playing well.
and they aren't moving anywhere anytime in the next couple years at least.
they just have shitty ownership right now who aren't willing to spend $$$, and are more interested in the hawks.
