I think it's all moot, anyway. Nashville won't want to lose its pro team after spending hundreds of millions on a relatively new arena. I think the city will step up and reach an agreement with the aptly-named Predator owner. These situations always go down to the wire, and about 9 out of 10 times, the team stays in the same city.

They have a 18,000 seat arena and with the surrounding area there is a population of around 6million, do your research. If Miami can support a team for over 10 years I don't think a teams with 6 million hockey crazy fans and with crazy TV contracts up here in Canada would have a problem surviving.
