    Between 2012-2021 - Thirteen NHL teams lost money (in millions USD): - Florida (-195.9) - GARY BETTMAN EXPANSION TEAM - Arizona (-141.6) - GARY BETTMAN RELOCATION - NY Islanders (-132.1) - Carolina (-108.8) - GARY BETTMAN RELOCATION - Tampa (-74.4) - GARY BETTMAN EXPANSION TEAM - Buffalo (-59.9) - Anaheim (-79.6) - GARY BETTMAN EXPANSION TEAM - Columbus (-76.0) - GARY BETTMAN EXPANSION TEAM - San Jose (-13.3) - Nashville (-64.1) - GARY BETTMAN EXPANSION TEAM - Minnesota (-55.1) - GARY BETTMAN EXPANSION TEAM - St. Louis (-43.9) - Colorado (-23.5) - GARY BETTMAN RELOCATION Fun Fact: Atlanta set the NHL record for MOST MONEY lost by ANY franchise in history...$130 million losses in only 5 years between 2005-2010, but that is where Gary Bettman is dead set on returning...why is he in charge? These owners have no power, they look so weak kowtowing to his stupidity. Between 2012-2021 - every Canadian team generated revenue (in millions USD): - Montreal (+678.2) - Toronto (+634.2) - Edmonton (+139.4) - Vancouver (+215.9) - Calgary (+70.1) - Ottawa (+50.9) - Winnipeg (+4.9) Winnipeg is the smallest market in professional sports...834,678 people, using Canadian currency...and they generated 4,900,000 for the NHL...meanwhile Miami lost 195.9 million, Phoenix lost 141.6 million, Atlanta lost 130 million, Anaheim lost 79.6 million... Fun Fact: Quebec City is larger than Winnipeg. Winnipeg (834,678) Quebec City (839,311) Who would sell more season tickets? A team in Quebec City, or Atlanta/Houston/Phoenix? Why don't you hold a contest...winner who sells more tickets gets the team... If you want to generate money for the NHL long term, go to Canada...if you want t bleed money in large southern markets...by all means expand into Houston, or Phoenix again, or Atlanta a third time... How insanely stupid would you have to be to just WANT to lose money in Miami, Anaheim, Atlanta, Phoenix, Columbus, Tampa....instead of making money in Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Quebec City.

    NFL won't come to Canada. We don't support anything. This country doesn't even have one decent stadium over 50,000, while they get 100,000 for college games in the US. Main reason is that the NFL makes most of it's money from TV networks. TV networks would not want a team in Canada because they get all their money from advertising, which would not work in a foreign country.

    Except for pre season games, Canadian Government should ban the No-Fun League and other GI Footy Regular Season/Playoff games from being played in the country period, killing off any expansion team crap. NHL makes sense (Canada should be 8 teams Vs. 20 USA) but that's about it. Hell, in the 1970s, Canada almost passed an act to stop then-WFL from putting a Toronto-based team but they failed.

    @lucky247365 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think the "no ability to sell tickets" is highly flawed. Before the ridiculously overpriced Buffalo Bills package of games that Rogers purchased, pretty much all the prior games were sold out for pre-season exhibition games in Toronto. The buffalo bills games were also against poor attracting opponents, so the deck was stacks for those games not to sell tickets well. Also considering how well the Raptors, Blue Jays and Maple Leafs sell tickets, Toronto is a big time sports town. All the teams are often in the respective leagues top 10 for attendance despite having considerable stretches of playoff droughts and have well out performed American teams with similar season records when it comes to attendance. Unfortunately the Argos are dying a slow death and are just a speck on the city's sports landscape. Even Toronto FC is more popular than the Argos, so I don't think the NFL will care too much about the Argos well being. The team ranks dead last in CFL attendance by a wide margin. It's simply the case of people valuing their entertainment dollars on higher profile sports leagues. Even minor league hockey doesn't do well in Toronto.

    I will probably never see a NFL team in Toronto in my lifetime, however it will come eventually as the league wants to grow internationally. I don't see the Argos, stadium, or the failure of the Bills series in Toronto as an impediment. At the end of the day the league wants to make money and the league already seen the city can support other major sports. There will be a time when the league earnings from media rights, ticket sales, and merchandise slows down. When this happens I can see the league seriously look at entering new markets.
