I think Fleury is possibly hurt. They were sitting him out to see how badly injured he is, tests and what not. Golden Knights has some tie-in to the owner..he's an ex Army guy and apparently their sports teams are called Black Knights or something. Meh..I don't mind the name..we had Mighty Ducks in Anaheim for goodness sake!
As for location..well..it seems it's a tricky thing..you have to find people with money..preferably reputable people (Boots Del Biaggio...)...and they have to be willing to put money up..Gary has to be your buddy..they have to believe you have long-term interests..and a rink..and THEN you get the franchise..maybe. Quebec has the rink..I'm not sure they have the big money..Quebecor is apparently behind it..but. I always hear Seattle..and lately Houston..for potential NHL expansion. Or relocation. I'm not sure some teams deserve to be there..along the lines of why Vegas..we said that about Phoenix..Atlanta (proven true..)..Miami..Tampa we figured would work because of the number of Canucks who winter down there (my family included..). Vegas seemed a bit odd to me..there really aren't THAT many people in Vegas to go to a hockey game..or so I thought..you figure, 1/3 are working and 1/3 are sleeping at any given time, because its a 24 hour city. Yeah, tourist traffic..and for Toronto that might work because it's nearly as cheap to fly there and watch a game as compared to buying tickets here! Anyway, I'm not great at predicting success or fail on these things..depends on how deep the pockets are..how accepting of losses they will be. Quebec might get a team..but I suspect it will be Miami..or Carolina.
If the people of Vegas love their hockey and show up for games, god love'em! Texas is turning out some decent players these days and I suspect that's all from the Stars being there. I love the game and if others can enjoy, beauty.
