Meh, I don't think there was ever serious talk about moving out of town, and the NHL would exhaust all options before moving a team.

KC's best chance right now is the Coyotes but I have a feeling the NHL is going back to Canada again before KC. I don't like KC's chances for a franchise period anymore. Guess I just need to appreciate the Mavs.

Yeah I don't think Kansas City is going to ever get an NHL or NBA team again. We were sold a bill of goods.

I feel sorry for the sports fans of KC. Every time a NHL or NBA team is seeking a new stadium deal the Sprint Center is used as leverage.

Looks like the Winter Classic will soon be canceled. The NHL has only a $100,000 buyout.

Yeah... after the Penguins, I don't get my hopes up. Not that I really thought the Pens would ever leave Pittsburgh, but once it got the point of Mario meeting in KC, it was hard not to think about it.

**** him. My father and I had money lined up to buy season tix.

Crosby with Malkin would have been so sick in KC. Honestly I might have forgotten about the Chiefs.

Wang is a New Yorker and doesn't want to leave New York at all. Also as an owner he would make Hunt and Glass look good.

Still Bettman hates this with a ****ing passion. If the Islanders are sold, then I would look for them to move somewhere else. Barclays Center is not designed for hockey at all, its like America West Arena in Phoenix and Conseco in Indy are.

It's the ugliest arena i've ever seen.

The trouble for a NBA or NHL team in Kansas City is an ownership group. Nobody has stepped up to the plate to get a team. More than likely you would have to find somebody out of state with money - I would look into Texas personally. I know everybody hates that idea but its the closest big money area to KC outside of maybe Chicago.

Meh Sprint Center has done really well even without an anchor tenant.

Short term yes but it will be interesting to see what happens in 10-15 years when the newness wears off.

Top 25 arena in the world in revenue. It will be fine for a while. And honestly this isn't the 80's. Newness wears off fast. People go because it attracts good shows and events.

I am not convinced an NHL or NBA team in KC would be a success.

I disagree especially if the team is a winner. Who would have thought Sporting KC would do so well? The Royals continue to suck and the Chiefs are giving their fans the bird eventually people will find other things to spend money on.

I want it to happen. Hey I love Kansas City and their teams. I am just skeptical is all.

Sporting tickets are pretty reasonable and there are 17-20 home games. That is a far cry from the nature of the NHL and NBA seasons.

Not having an anchor tenant > having a struggling NBA or NHL team.

Time will tell I suppose.
