i hate to sound like Balsillie here, having just joined the league, but i think it's better to deal with this sooner rather than later..
looking at the league, i noticed there are the Jets instead of the Yotes (hope that will soon be the case in the real NHL too!!), and the Whalers (niice) instead of the Sens..
so i was wondering whether i could pull a similar trigger..
I would love to bring back the Nordiques in place for the Predators, not only to distinguish from previous franchise managements, but mostly cause the thought of giving back to Quebec a promising team like they once had excites me much more than the thought of hockey in Nashville, if you get what i mean.
As for realism, keep in mind in a couple of years that could become true, after all.
Plan B would be relocate the franchise to Ottawa, as i see it possible now that "Fantasy hockey for Leafs fans" have been rightfully replaced with "The best fantasy hockey experience"
I hope this would not be too much of a problem.. when you think at the real US map, Nashville is out West only for the NHL!
And being in the off-season, perhaps a small adjustment in divisions/conferences could be worked out IF deemed necessary.
c'mon, whoever do those awesome signature pictures could produce much cooler stuff on a Nordiques jersey than having to use a Predators one!
Hoping you guys won't take this idea in a bad way and will make it possible.
Thanks in advance for your time. -Mik
