I hope people don't allow the hapless efforts of the OSHL and WHA (or was it WHL?) that tried to get off the ground influence their opinion too much, as they were struggling in a landscape where many felt NHL hockey would be returning in the near future.
Now, there's strong indications that NHL hockey will not return for up to 2 years. Does this create an opportunity for a new league to replace the NHL? Buildings are likely looking for tenants that can bring in some concession revenues, and lots of elite players are looking for work closer to home. I'm sure there's a more than a few wealthy businesspeople out there that are at least considering the idea.
Could it fly?
