Instead of building a brand-new rink, the Islanders are going to completely renovate the aging Nassau Coliseum: lighthouseli.com/coliseum.phpCouple this with the fact that NJ just announced a new arena, PITTSBURGH is the only NHL city that needs a new arena... and I don't think they're gonna get it. I see the Pens relocating in the next few years.

mario has already saved the penguins twice.
can he do it a third time ? i don't think so. the penguins much trumpeted us$ 10 million/year tv contract with fox isn't enough to keep them in pittsburgh.

The Islanders Light House renovation is in the proposal stages right now, it is nowhere near a deal. Having said that, the Islanders will eventually find a sollution since thier ownership group is among the most committed in the league. They aren't moving anywhere.

Wow if that proposal goes through! Long Island would certainly be a cool place to live, that project is phenomenal. I doubt it will be rejected unless there is no solid financial backing.

I still cannot believe the greater New York area supports 3 NHL teams (Rangers, Islanders, Devils). After the Jets return, I think it would be time to put a second team in the Golden Horseshoe. Renovating Copps Coliseum would put Hamilton in line for an NHL team.
