Not going to happen unless Hunt wants it to and also wants to lose a ton of money.

Bottom line is KC is not an NHL town. We are good with the AA hockey team we have in the Mavs because you only need to average around 3K for them to turn a profit, but there's no way this city puts 14K in Sprint Center 41 nights a year for the NHL. Yeah, we can sell out (or come close) a preseason game, but it's not something we'd consistently support.

Plus, as mentioned, the Sprint Center is also very profitable despite not having a permanent tenant.

The reality is this city doesn't have enough hockey fans, and even if it did I don't know if we could support Chiefs/Royals/Sporting/K-State/KU/Mizzou and an NHL team.
