So if Calgary and Edmonton might be in trouble in the current economy with 300 000 more people and a way bigger corporate base (wags_in_the_peg you are absolutely right, that is a huge factor), how will Winnipeg support another team? the Jets left for a reason.
Now before all you Winnipeggers get defensive, I want another team in Winnipeg, I could care less about Nashville or Atlanta, but the current economics of the NHL are such that Winnipeg can't compete.
