Touchy subject, but with the NHL about to make an announcement about expansion, it'd be nice to get a feel about how exactly confident you are of staying in Phoenix.

Considering the announcement is coming right before the draft, 0%. That was the cutoff date for Leblancs supposed arena announcement. League pulls the plug if they don't figure something out.
For this season? No way. We've got another year at GRA. They'll take their time. And they'll keep singing and dancing and leading us on.
100% next season.
25% season after.
This new arena stuff is starting to strike me as hot air. They'll just delay, promise, delay, promise and then at the last minute, announce they've sold for relo. About 12mo from now.
Never mind. Not worth it.
Exactly. It's the same over and over.
With Las Vegas and Quebec City likely getting expansion franchises, where would we go? Seattle is as bad of a hockey environment as Phoenix, the definition of fair weather. Kansas City I think would be a good place to go but they've expressed no interest. Unless if a shot in the dark comes around, I'm quite certain we're staying in Arizona
If I'm understanding the circumstances correctly. For a city to get an expansion team, GB is asking for $500m, however, if someone where to buy a team and move them, then it would be a lot cheaper.
At least thats my understanding of why people are discussing relocation more than expanding.
Who's discussing relocation more than expansion? I haven't heard a thing about relocation in months, and everything I've read is talking about expansion and even expansion draft rules. Hell the B.O.G. are having a meeting in 3 weeks where expansion is one of the main things on the docket.
It might warrant being split up into polls like "next year","2017-18","five years from now"...but we've got all summer for that.
for that group of polls my answers would be 100,75,50

I understand that, however, what needs to be done to squash the rumors?
