Do low market teams like the Hurricanes (who have won a cup) have a permanent place in the NHL? With the rising prices of contracts it certainly seems unlikely.
What do you think, have poor expectations every season, or relocate to a bigger market?
A random note, they need to make a hockey version of the movie 'moneyball' for teams like theHurricanes.

I don't think they give up on Carolina, unfortunately. I think they are prime to be moved to Seattle and balance out the conferences. |

They would fit well into the NHL's plans of wanting more TV markets. The city has a history of Stanley Cups and players/staff would love the area. Good rivalry could be formed with the Canucks. |

Would be nice to not hear about financial struggles in the NHL for a while. I have got my fill of that with Phoenix the past decade. |

He must be tired of being the main face of the franchise's finances. Can't say I blame him, they haven't exactly been a scary team since they won the cup. |

NHL needs a better revenue sharing system then these small market teams wouldn't be having this problem...they need to use the NBA's model with a soft cap & luxury tax threshold then that money can be divided up for the small revenue teams. You need those big revenue teams to spread the weath which isn't happening inthe NHL.
