What do you think ? In my opinion new stars will be born but you can't replace decades of history, moments, rivalery and love to the teams. So if I must choose, I go for the teams.
Loki said:I would rather lose the players.
So if I had a choice between :
A) The Oilers moving to Portland and maintaining the same roster
B) The Oilers staying in Edmonton but getting a brand new roster
I choose B.
If you go back 5 years to the Oilers team in 99-00 only 5 players are the same anyhow: (Smyth, Smith,Moreau,Ulanov,Laraque)
I imagine I have a good 20 years left as a fan atleast
And that's what a lot of us are facing if things don't change. Does that clear things up for you a little?FLYLine4LIFE said:Ok if the example is would you rather loose the players or loose your TEAM then obviously anyone would choose the players.

The problem is that the current NHL stars do not want their bosses telling them this is the way it is...so those guys should step aside and let the replacements begin, and before you know it, the fans will forget about the money mongers like Guerin,Modano,Theodore,Brodeur, etc...FLYLine4LIFE said:Hhaah What BS by you who say...you would pick the teams. The NHL is the NHL because of the PLAYERS not the TEAM NAMES. The NHL has the BEST hockey players int he world in ONE league. But yea....I guess in in 10 years you'll have an OK NHL league....have fun waiting around that long for he new stars.
