Såg en bra kommentar på Reddit som summerade situationen rätt bra. Både Caps och alla andra franchises i amerikansk sport berörs väl av detta egentligen.
"Owners all over pro sports have been threatening to leave cities and using it as leverage for not wanting to pay for stadium projects themselves. Why pay for a 700 million dollar stadium when the taxpayers can! Rightfully, many cities balk at forking over huge sums of taxpayer money to fund private projects like this, and as we've seen with the Raiders, Athletics, and even the Warriors move across the Bay, it could happen anywhere. (RIP Oakland sports). That's why, regardless of fanbase passion, all you need for a relocation is a greedy owner and a city unwilling to kowtow to demands. Could happen to Buffalo, Nashville, or anywhere seen as "Stable" which is a scary prospect"
mattias - 74: Såg matchen inatt mot Leafs och det hade varit intressant att höra Pens ledning motivera vilket värde man såg i värvningen.av Skinner? Toronto vinner trots en rätt blek insats där man tråkigt nog börjat vänja sig.
