VOTE
With the WHA looking like a sure thing, the NHL panics and wants to fill up more cities and Cut the WHA off. The NHL will expand by 2 teams in 1972. The candidates are the actual cities that expressed at least some interest in the 72 expansion. Candidates are:
1. Long Island - this will prevent the WHA from getting access to a prime arena in the NY area: the new Nassau County Arena.
2. Atlanta - a booming southern city with teams in MLB, NFL and that basketball league. They've just built a new arena. The owners are there and are threatening to go to the WHA.
3. Baltimore - they're still trying even with Washington already in. But do we need 2 teams in that area?
4. Denver - arena isn't ready yet, they'd have to play in a smaller one to start, but would add a western team.
5. Kansas City - like Denver arena not ready yet but would be a western team.
6. Milwaukee - have a small arena and good hockey history.
7. San Diego - have an arena and could be a great rival to the Seals and Kings
Remember to VOTE on WHA format
A. Create a separate conference for the WHA so they can seek to sign NHL players - the down side is they would be in the playoffs
B. Create a separate save (ie a separate game) for the WHA so the leagues are independent. The only downside is no player raids.
We already have 1 vote for option A
