Personally, I think that wth the sheer consistency of Canadian people in Vegas, I would be hard pressed to argue that Vegas will not have far better attendance. I think Vegas will have a sellout crowd, at the very least for the first few years. In the meantime, Ottawa have an average crowd of 537 people, plus Dopps and Spatso. While Dopps and Spatso expel enough hot air to fill all the NHL arenas combined, I would rather we focus on actual numbers.
And seeing as dollars does not seem to be an issue for Vegas ownership, where as Ottawa ownership pinches each and every penny as they are in pure survival mode, who will have the best team in a couple of years? Ottawa certainly has a head start in pure talent, but does the fact that Ottawa has Ballard Jr. as an owner completely negate that factor?
