There's not enough time to do it properly and succeed. Bradley added that improving the Attack and landing an Arena Football League team is higher on the list for Kansas City Sports Enterprises than hockey. McGannon, however, seems primed to make the CHL work here next season if, in fact, the Blades are done. If that happens, the time to act is now. We don't need darkness at the arena.
Some hockey is better than no hockey.
McGannon's group, which includes local and outside investors, already has approached city officials about lease possibilities. I don't think the city wants to lose 41 dates. We'd want to expand the season ticket base, and hopefully partner with an NHL team as a partial affiliate. My choice would be St. Louis. First, though, let's see what happens with the Blades.
