Message: [QUOTE="IMind, post: 786691, member: 1048"] I don't think the NHL would put a new team in here with so many teams already... and when the Devils and Islanders arena situations stabilized the chances of them relocating diminished. The Devils absolutely were in trouble. They still don't draw particularly well. Heck there was talk this summer about the Devils moving to Seattle.If Hartford had a viable arena sooner there was probably a decent chance. The Devil's actually have a bit of the same thing you point to in CT. Split fans between the Rangers and the Flyers. While I'd love to see a new arena in Hartford and a new NHL team. I'd rather they spend the money on a nice new facility in Storrs like a kicked up version of Quinnipiac's facility. [/QUOTE]
