16. Yes I did...all questions.

Show me an article which states they'll get an NHL team. You can't, because it's all hope. I can make the exact same site and give reasons as to why the Salt Lake market could house an NHL team.

I looked all throughout the FAQ and not once did I see that the NHL was coming back. Only questions asking whether the city could support the team, if they had a big enough arena and $$$.
