    Would Paul be the owner? I'm guessing that's the case, right?

    What is the NHL salary cap like?

    Why not just bump the Winterhawks up and retain the name, like with the Timbers?

    I don't buy it for a second (OK with Key Arena).

    As for names, I think Buckeyes is the only one that really fits well with the history of Hockey in Portland. Rose Buds wouldn't work and Winter hawks is too close to Blackhawks (due to shared history).

    I actually kind of like The Portland Coho, but ya.... Wolverines would be sweet. I was surprised to see them on that list of native species.

    I would rather not share my name with another pro team in another sport or a Nationally known college football brad like Michigan

    That's very difficult these days to not share a name with either another pro or college team.

    I like football and hockey more than baseball. But if I got to choose which top professional team comes to Ptd, I would choose baseball. I really miss going to MLB during the summer, it makes for a cheap (relative to football and hockey) and entertaining day.

    Hockey would be cool to have in Portland, but it's season is close to basketball and the tickets would probably be just as expensive.

    See, I don't even care about going to the games. I do most of my watching on TV because I can change the channel if I want, or watch multiple things if it's a blowout, etc.

    Baseball isn't even interesting until the playoffs. I love playoff baseball.
