Report: Gary Bettman planning to move another NHL team out of Canada?
NHL insider Chris Johnston dropped a bombshell yesterday regarding a Canadian team and their future in their current city. Time may be ticking as new statistical information has released.
Insider reveals Jets may leave Winnipeg
Johnston reported that the NHL commissioner Gary Bettman is monitoring the situation in Winnipeg with ticket sales dropping over 30% in the last three years.
Chris Johnston on Insider Trading says NHL is monitoring the situation in Winnipeg, they have seen an above 30% drop in the last 3 years in their ticket base. Gary Bettman will be in Winnipeg on Tuesday to meet with some of the team's important corporate sponsors.
You can argue that the Jets fanbase are very passionate with examples like their «whiteout» during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but at the end of the day the NHL is a business and if there are better suitors at there then Winnipeg, they will lean towards there.
This is just facts, reason why Quebec City will never get a team.
