That's certainly one of the reasons. The Whalers had a winning tradition in the WHA. Great franchise. Unfortunately I doubt they will ever make a return to the NHL.
I'd like to rename my farm team the NEW ENGLAND WHALERS Really like the retro logo. I even watched a few games featuring Gordie when I was a kid. It was Howe's final season in '80.Thanks guys!
