Gnashville said:So you were living in Nashville in 95 when Bettman said that unless we really screwed things up that Nashville would be the 1st city considered for expansion. BTW I remember that Nashville got the most votes by the board of governors so we were the first team awarded, then Minny, then Atlanta, then Columbus. Hate us if you want but Columbus beat Houston not Nashville, we would have gotten a team regardless of Houston's proposal.
BTW please create a relocation/Contraction sub-fourm for these poeple
in 1997 they had a summit where ownership groups submitted their bids. They didn't promise anything if bettman said that he'll do everything he can (which isn't much by the way).
