Florida Panthers Request to Relocate

[Capn Cally]

I have zero attachment to the Florida Panthers... Other than Roberto Luongo being an ex-Canuck.

Would like to throw dibs at changing to the Vegas Golden Knights next season

And yes, I know I don't get their draft picks for 2017.

Will be nice to at least have a team that has some hype around it. No one gives a flying f about the Panthers. Not even the people in Florida - have you seen their home games on the highlights? Laughable how many empty seats there are!
Wait.... Vancouver is going that direction too haha, I shouldn't talk so soon. But to be fair that's because one ticket is $100 for bad seats, let alone like $200+ for lower bowls.

Unfortunately I've only ever allowed relocation for new members taking over teams in their first year.  Eric has already expressed interest in moving the Coyotes to Vegas, but he hasn't made up his mind yet.  I'm also not sure how long it will be until Vegas logos/icons are available here on ProFSL.  Not that that's a big deal.  But yea, I know it's an unwritten rule, but it's one I've always maintained.  Plus, you already moved from San Jose and you picked FL!

Also relocating Florida to Nevada would totally screw up my divisions!  It already irks me that St Louis is in Mountain West.  Every time I think about it it sends shivers down my OCD spine.  You don't know...

I made a Vegas logo and set it to Colby so it's up to him to add it. I'm all for moving FLA out of my division though!

Oh, well that sucks.

I think I picked Florida because it's better than most of the other teams available, like NJ, CBJ, etc haha. I guess I could have gone with a NY team.

Fair enough though... Maybe I should trade my team for the Canucks team. I think Drew is an Oilers fan so it must irritate him a bit that his team is the Canucks....
That's like you Rob, being the owner of say, NYR, MTL or something like that haha.

Right, I wouldn't play if I had to be the Canadiens....

I would support your team trade with Drew.  It would be interesting to see if you can pull off another massive rebuild, or if you just had a horseshoe up your a$$ this whole time!!

In all honesty I think it was the latter...haha.

I think part of the reason I was okay was that I had goalies though. I was lucky that the team had 2 or maybe 3 decent to solid goalies, including Schneider.

That, and some of my prospects turned into really really good players, like Kreider, Kucherov, Scheifele. No one was really THAT high on those three players I don't think, not as much as the McDavid's and Eichel's of the world.

Anyways, I meant swapping franchise names AND rosters, not just switching GM's and keeping the same team, haha.

lol, aww It would be fun to see you in action again! 

But I would allow that change - swapping team names, if Drew wanted to do it.

Also would be nice to move a powerhouse team to the Canada division.

Cool. I'll PM Drew.

Also, I'm assuming you'll let Drew choose the franchise of his choice so long as it is somewhere between Detroit/Chicago and Florida, haha.
I'm no USA geometry major, but that's quite the distance is it not? There must be some teams between those cities....haha
