Do you think the Predators will move?

Question

if so, where to

Answer 1

I think it's very likely they will move, they've socked a lot of money into that franchise and it's been one of the top 3 teams but the bottom three as far as attendance goes. That can't continue, if there isn't a good run for the Stanley Cup this year or next, they may take the offer Kansas City is putting up if it is given to them.

Answer 2

It's very unlikely. After this season, especially. The problem is the difficulty to begin a winning tradition from scratch in a "non-traditional" hockey environment. Fans in Nashville adamantly love their Preds just as die-hard Montreal fans love their Habs. What's the difference? The winning tradition, and the number of die-hard fans. If Nashville can keep winning (which is easy, the only division challenge is Detroit), the fanbase will quickly grow, and if somehow they sneak away with the Cup this year, it will cement tradition and a winning spirit in the environment, and in turn increase attendance and fans. Don't be fooled by geography, Nashville loves hockey, especially when their team is one of the best in the NHL.

Answer 3

Apparently, from what I have gathered, the problem in Nashville is corporate support for the most part so unless corporations start gobbling up those luxury boxes, I think it could be a possibility but not likely.
Personally, I would like to see a team in Vegas because it would give me another reason to go there. I love that city.

Answer 4

Yes it is likely and the rumors are kansas city, or hartford. They need to get in the last several games at 14000 I think for each one or something like that. If they don't the owner can move them without a fuss.

Answer 5

of course they wont move. what were u thinking. they have a great fan basis and are doin well. I say that and im a wings fan. pssshhh, predators moving
