jp242424…>>>>drafts and signing big name free agents are all to do with the Preds, they are trying to get far in the playoffs and with poor attendeance and losing money since they joined the NHL is why the owners are thinking a move out of Nashville.

some things just don't belong in certain places... Is hockey in Tennessee?
This rumor has been circling since the end of last season...
The Preds are one of the top four teams in the league this regular season but rank 23rd in average attendance...
Attendance is a contributing factor in the NHL's revenue-sharing formula. With declining attendance, the Predators have been concerned that they may lose out on the total money available to them in the future from the NHL’s revenue-sharing plan.
I feel the Preds owners did everything possibly right this season for a attendance rebound and it hasn't happen. The NHL's Nashville experiment is pretty close to a bust... its either the owners bail and relocate now; or risk trying for another few seasons and hope they don't go bankrupt... and everything turns around successfully (Pittsburgh and St. Louis had the same problem in the early 80's and made it through... Nashville can quite possibly too)...
patthedrummer, here's the source; The January 30 Issue of The Hockey News has a full page article about the Nashville Predators attendance woes...

You are probably in the same boat as the great majority of sports gamblers up and down the country who are losing a lot more than they actually win. It's likely you have the occasional win that keeps you finding its way back for more, but a lot of the time your choices lose. And that charges you ever more cash! If you intend to put the end at this dilemma you then must search here https://tr.im/qwXTx .

Welcome back Habitant! Sorry about your Canadiens(no sarcasm) I wanted to see them get to the playoffs.
Anyway, if this is true, it will be unfortunate. It was close for Buffalo with the bankruptcy and all due to corrupt owners. I would have been heartbroken. And I'm sure their fans will feel the same. But as was stated before......what really does draft choices and big signings have to do with them moving the team? I would think it is indirectly because of the money they have spent and do not have the fan base to pay for it all. Which, in these new markets is a common problem I would think. New markets I refer to being as NOT the old stand-bys that have been around for many years such as Montreal, Toronto, Buffalo, NYR.....etc.
GO SABRES GO!!!!!

I thought there was a deal fall through that would have gotten a local owner to share the team but I'm for it. My cousins live in Nashville. They don't get hockey. My one cousin came to visit when I was a kid and he put on all my hockey stuff and walked around outside in it. Problem was it was summer and he had no guards on the skate blades. But I digress. I think Seattle or Portland is a better choice. The league will never get the nationwide deal or acceptance that Bettman craves. It just won't happen and all the wishing the basketball reject makes won't change that. They need some real western teams for the west. It's about time Detroit came back to the east where they belong.

I think that there is a good chance that the team might be moved because their attendance hasn't been that good for both regular season and playoffs. They gave up alot to get Forsberg this year and might not make it out of the first round. If the team were to move there are two places that they might move to . The first is Las Vegas because they have a strong following of hockey because of their ECHL team the Wranglers and the other is Kansas City because of the new building that they are getting.

I dont understand the thinking with this. How is moving the team, and drafts, relate to each other. Location has nothing to do with free agent signing either. Why dont they get some management people in there, who can build a winner. Getting Frosberg, was a waste of a good young talented player. He hasnt done much in the playoffs, alond with Kariya. The thug mentality, is not going to win anything.

the reason the preds are thinkin of moving is because the game attendance is low. it has nothing to do with players of draft picks or anything else. it is all about making money.

there is absolutly nothing wrong with the on ice product in nashville they are a top level team in the league the problem is at the corporate sponsorship level which is they have none. look at the arena they play in the nashville center. notice the lack of corporate tag on it.
