I didn't see anyone mention a new team coming here before this comment but heres a response any way....
The new area in downtonw Winnipeg only seats 15,xxx max for hockey games so a new team would have to sell out every single game to be viable here....AND ONLY THE MOST DISILLUSIONED WINNIPEGERS BELIEVE THERE WILL EVER BE ANOTHER NHL TEAM BASED IN THIS CITY. The recent provincial election has the Conservative leader Hugh McFaden promising to bring back the Jets, this was the biggest load of $hit that I have ever heard out of a politicians mouth in my entire life....any by the way Gar Doer (NDP) won the election...
