After listening to that I'm 100% sure that the team is gone. That lawyer in looking for every possible loophole to move the team. He mentioned that they already have relocation approval.
I actually didn't take it that way. I felt he made it clear that so long as there's a lease, the Preds are in Nashville. And the Preds have a lease so long as the cumulative average tickets are met --- which we as fans/city control.
Am I missing something?

Then it's dead team skating.You're arguing with "Gnee-jerk Gnashville"
I take it mostly the same way as you do, though...nothing we didn't know. I think we'll be okay this season, and as long as the city\fans don't get complacent, for the foreseeable future--IF Balsillie doesn't do anything underhanded(gut the team, cut marketing, etc)
Are you getting "as the crow flies" or driving distance? Are you accurately measuring the minimum distance between the corporate limits of each city?
Just a heads up regarding territorial rights... I think Balsillie may have something up his sleeve in orfer to get around this.... read today's National Post: http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/story.html?id=2ee34bd7-d43a-4cf5-bd9c-4aa1ccdbecf7
Pretty much, SOMEONE called the Competition Bureau on the NHL regarding their territorial rights and it looks like that the whole Idea of them could be found to be illegal... hence, if they were, any team coming into the S. ONT region WOULDNT have to pay anyone anything.
Pretty smooth move on Balsillie's part if this is whats being worked on.

This is disheartening. Man, way to grow the sport by pissing off an entire region. Could have this have happened to my Canes this easily? Evidently, yeap.
As a fan, there will be hell to pay, NHL. Chink in the armor, I could lose interest in this sport very easily.

Well it happen to Hartford...
You know the team you got.
Entirely different situation to a great extent. Then again, I know dumb ass Canadians on this board would never figure that point out.
Yeah, I said it.
