We realize. We also recognize that none of what you mentioned is the NHL

Hartford doesn’t deserve an NHL team until attendance is better for at least the AHL teams was my point. You can’t ask for an NHL team if you don’t invest in the hockey community that already exists here. Point being, there’s a great list of teams to watch that need more attention.

There’s not enough money for a team in Hartford. We already have three teams within this small radius of the northeast (Rangers, Isles & Bruins). And Hartford is too small and dumpy of a city. Sad, but it’s the truth. It’ll never happen. The latest expansion team is in Seattle - a huge city everyone knows of, that has an NFL and NBA team. They aren’t going to bring a team back to Hartford. The Whalers had like two successful seasons.
