Things come full circle in hockey betting. Interesting, isn’t it? If any of you were fans of this blog a few months ago, you’d remember that I wrote a post trashing the Phoenix Coyotes and suggesting that they move to a Canadian city. Low and behold, RIM CEO Jim Balsillie made his big offer today after the Coyotes filed for bankruptcy. $220 mil. Not bad. And I thought player salaries in NBA odds were exorbitant!

i should be happy, and I probably will be should a seventh team come back to hockey betting in Canada, a.ka. a place that cares about the Stanley Cup odds. I still have to wonder, though, if losing a U.S. team would take away from the big south-of-the-border TV deals that help drive league revenues. I’d still be curious to see a team in Kansas City, but a Canadian franchise would be pretty cool too…just don’t let it be another Toronto team!
