In 1995, during their march to the Stanley Cup, The New Jersey Devils were embroiled in a relocation scare. In what the New York Times suggests was an act of “leverage” for a new arena, the Islanders played a preseason game in Kansas City’s brand new Sprint Center in 2009 as speculation grew rampant. Freeman stepped aside as chairman after the revelation of a federal tax lien against him and was replaced by Cigarran, whom he sued last year for allegedly keeping him in the dark on team finances and not honoring aspects of their ownership agreement. As reported in The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the deal fell apart after Basillie was given a list of terms that included one to keep the franchise in Pittsburgh, making relocation unacceptable. Schulz said he was motivated by economic development. Relocation rumors are a constant in the NHL, however, most rumors stem from wishful thinking. Attending that first meeting was Plaster, Schulz and Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp. President and CEO Butch Spyridon. Pocklington recounted the near-deal in an interview with The Canadian Press (through TSN), saying, "Harold phoned me and said, 'Would you consider moving to Toronto with your team and I'll move to Edmonton with mine, and I'll need $50 million. While Nashville failed to court the Devils in 1995, they did get their own expansion team in 1998. And they decided their focus would be raising awareness to the situation and working to drive up season ticket sales. Samuels said he was overwhelmed with emotion when walking to his seat before the start of Game 4 in Nashville. Did we leave anything out? Plaster recalled saying he "didn't give a hoot" what Balsillie thought because he was convinced the plan was to ship the Predators out of Nashville. "I walked down to my seats and there were so many people I can remember that said, 'Look around.'

Hiller Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical celebrates 30th anniversary in September. Once the deal fell apart, while the Our Team group was organizing its ticket drive and public relations effort, Freeman was quietly kicking the tires on organizing a local ownership group. How are we going to ensure this when relocating? Would NHL hockey flourish in Hamilton? As reported in the Houston Chronicle, one year earlier, Alexander and Pocklington reached an agreement in which Alexander would keep the team in Edmonton for three years and move it to Houston in 2001 if the team remained unprofitable.
