Yes, it would be nice to have the Nordiques back as well.

Personally, Im hoping Red Deer gets a team. The Oilers need someone in their division to beat up on.

Apparently 16 cities were invited to submit bids and only those two replied.

Makes you wonder...

According to another one in the CBC, "The price tag for a franchise is reportedly in the $500 million US range and it cost $10 million just to file the paper work."

Indeed and they'll play there season at a Private non-tax payer funded Arena. Exactly what most Las Vegas Residents want from a Pro Team, no Tax Dole funded Arena. I'm one the 13000+ who made a deposit on Season Tickets.

Still dirt cheap compared to the NFL and NBA. Especially since you have idiots in the NBA willing to pay 2 billion dollars to a senile old degenerate for a struggling franchise just so they can play team owner.
