One would assume they could work out a deal before September of '05... of course, I said the same thing last summer.

Modano's comments about Bettman that got inked today don't help, either...

Interesting. If this does happen, it opens the door for an NHL team to move to Cleveland. The argument against Cleveland having an NHL team has always been that they don't have enough hockey fans to support both teams.
