Gudnason 607 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 With rumours increasing by the day that Stockholm Vikings will once again return to Vasteras this offseason, the rumours that Cologne could leave the German city at the end of the year pop up again. While the Express have had a volatile history in Cologne, there is no doubt that the franchise has increased the league's fan base in Germany. Younger hockey players in Germany now also have hometown idols to look up to, and since S31, the German players that have made their name on the international stage have been significant names. However, general manager Rudi Ying is understood to not be totally fond of the city, name, and brand, and is keen to put his own stamp on the franchise. The most likely landing spots for the franchise, if it does indeed uproot and move, are Ibiza, Spain; Reykjavik, Iceland; Beijing, China; Tallinn, Estonia; and Seoul, South Korea.

Not to mention it's not like Russia deserves anything. Any player that signs in Russia usually does it because the money is good and their skills have diminished. The KHL is a joke and treats it's players like a joke. Mu buddy Jon Blum (former Preds/Wild defensemen) said that the club wouldn't even pay for his flight to a travelling teams game because he wasn't Russian.

Ahma 1,428 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 How dare you @Gooningitup even suggest to relocate Davos???? Utterly disappointed... I thought you were on Davos' side! One does not simply relocate Davos! There's a rule that says you're not allowed to do it!
