Phoenix definitely is not out of the woods by any stretch. But, I'm one of the few that thinks it could work there. The Coyotes were bad for a long time and did little in the community. Now they are promoting the team, they are fun to watch, and the arena is awesome and they are starting to draw. If they get a decent owner I think it will work. Quebec and Winnipeg didn't work because there wasn't the corporate support the teams needed. It sucks that just filling the seats isn't enough for teams to make it, but that's just the reality. I give the new Winnipeg team 5 years before they are in Hamilton or somewhere else that can support a team. Not sure if the Islanders or the Panthers are leading the Quebec City derby, but I hope its the Panthers.
