1. Is there an official Preds thread? If not, we should make one. I've just gotten into hockey this year really and have yet to really claim allegiance to any team. But since I love the state of Tennessee and may be moving to Nashville soon, I may as well go ahead and start following the preds.
2. Seems like I've heard rumors of the team maybe leaving Nashville. Hopefully this is still not in the works. Anyone clear this up for me please?
3. I'm still a hockey noob so while I know the rules for the most part and such, it's a little less clear on players and coaches. Seems like Jonesey and many others are very knowledgeable. If we can get some good hockey talk going, I'm sure I could pick up pretty quickly. |
The Preds are safe for now because the city agreed to renegotiate their lease with the Sommet Center. The city put out 5 million dollars to keep the Preds in Nashville plus the new ownership is from Nashville so they will keep the team here too. Nashville also had them add a clause in the contract so that if they did leave at a later time it would cost the team several millions of dollars to the city. Actually Kansas City was one of the cities trying to land them in their new Sprint Center.
