PREDS ON THE WAY OUT?
The Predators need to average 14,000 in paid attendance to keep the lease between the city and team intact, and so far it doesn't look good.
As reported in Friday's Tennessean, the Predators’ paid attendance average stands at 12,618, according to figures compiled by the team and obtained from Metro Sports Authority.
In their two most recent home games - against Chicago and Calgary - the paid attendances were 11,677 and 9,025, respectively.
In terms of money coming in, they must average at least 13,125 in paid attendance this season to qualify for the NHL’s revenue-sharing plan. |

| Geez, it's a good thing they blocked the sale of this franchise at a record price to a highly successful businessman who wanted to move the team somewhere where they'd likely sell out every game. |

I wonder if Leipold actually lose more money this year than he did previously. Would the money that he's saved by not retaining key guys be outweighed by the huge drop in ticket sales and the resulting lost revenue-sharing dollars?
Oh well, like he gives a shit anyways with the sweetheart deal the NHL will give him with Minny.

| With all the young D they have this team could get better in a hurry and there are a couple good pieces in place - Arnott and Dumont are solid, Zidlicky is having a comeback of sorts. If Trotz ever unleashed Radulov they could make the playoff race interesting now. Great team to buy IMO. |

As long as they can be relocated, or the new owner actually gets support from local business.
