Yup. It's all about the $$$.
Starve a hockey crazed market long enough and some sucker will pay the $400-$500 mill to expand.
It'll be interesting to see how this whole Quebec City thing plays out. Their mayor met with Bettman last week and apparently both sides said the talks were positive and going in the right direction. Hopefully this means they'll get a franchise in 2-3 years time.

You're young, rich and famous. 70% of your team is give/take 2-3 years in age. All you're going to do is party, drink and fuck hot girls. There's a reason why most of the Hawks team is single haha
