But why not contract Bern and keep Moscow and leave the VHL alone?

 

For me the reason I'd do it the other way is because I feel like Russia is a country that deserves a real VHL team. They are the same scale hockey market wise as USA and Canada, they have tons of prominent NHL players. I've always found it silly that we pride ourselves on our European preference but we don't cover one of the biggest hockey countries in the main league. The idea to me that Europe would then be the Fins, Swedes, Swiss, Russians and Germans gives you a good broad scope of the European hockey scene. 

 

In terms of Quebec to Chicago, I just don't know if Quebec worked as well as we thought it would. By no means is it bad or even really should be a serious threat to relocation. But if we wanted to go that route, Chicago makes sense. I mean really it's just about keeping balance and I think we got too crazy on it in the VHLM. Mostly in terms of the balance. Since deciding NA is basically finding a healthy mix of both Canadian and American cities in each league. Toronto, Calgary, Chicago, Seattle, New York. That looks like a prestigious list of some of the best hockey and sports cities in the continent and pretty nicely reflects well for the majors imo.

He can be serious about Davos to Russia all he wants, but it would be rejected by many voices. Moving a team doesn't just involve the GM and given that Davos has a rich history and that Gooning hasn't been here for more than 20 seasons, I highly doubt it gets moved. Davos is one of (if not) the most storied and successful franchises in the VHL and moving them basically says "Fuck You History".

 

Quebec --> Midwestern USA

Riga --> Moscow

 

It may not get moved, but you cant say im doing this cuz fuck history. Anyone who thinks that needs to remember how much ive given for this franchise. And given ive found a way to bring more activity to my life since i started my company i dont plan on stepping down anytime soon. I realized it was a long shot, but i wasnt not going to make a pitch

Hey now! I bailed because i had no intention of leaving Seattle and he traded for me. He never even asked me beforehand, he knows thats his fault.

 

It was a very rough introduction to the VHL for my first player.

Move Quebec....I'd like to play for yet another franchise!

And you need to remember how much others have given to that franchise. That franchise is old in tradition, a tradition laced with success and HOF careers. Also it's a franchise that one ups almost every single other franchise in the league. By pitching you actually are saying "fuck history" because thats essentially what you'd be flushing down the toilet by moving a successful franchise.

 

I should note I have no true positive ties to Davos, that franchise is the reason I lack 2-3 more cups in fact. But it's like telling the Detroit Red Wings they now must move to Cleveland.

Sure, Riga has had a rough time recently and the trend seems like it'll continue this season, but I don't see a reason to move them. Yes, Russia is a big hockey market, and yes, it does make sense to have a team there potentially, but no, it doesn't make sense to move Riga (or another VHL team in my opinion). Riga has been around forever and should stay where they are to continue the franchise's history. I'm not on board for a move and will be against it unless my hand is forced on the matter. If not, the Reign stay put in Latvia.

 

VHLM contraction is an issue that will be discussed in the off-season.

Should just change the name of the Riga Reign to the Davos Dynamo, and then change Davos to a Russia city. That way you still get your franchise with history and Gooning can move to St Petersburg.

A new team? Stockholm wouldn't be relocated. The branding, city itself and tradition of hockey there say it's a good fit.

 

Vasteras still lives in people hearts. At least for 6 of them.

The other should obviously be Brampton.

 

It caught me off guard...until I realized Brampton is sorta of Toronto suburb. Sasky is saved lol.

Yukon from VHLM should be moved to Saskatoon.

 

Saskatoon needs two teams at least, the place is capital of the hockey world.
