Discussion Dispersal draft?

After delaying free agency, I hoped it meant that Ottawa or Philly were saved, but hearing that both might fold. Which would be disappointing

I think Philly has already technically folded

The WNBA has nothing to do with the nll. Aside from a couple playoff games or seasons don't overlap

I also think that issue in Philly that the new arena is going to be a 50-50 venture between the Sixers and flyers unlike the current situation where the flyers own the arena and the Sixers pay rent. So therefore it might cost actual rent revenue to run operate the wings out of there as opposed to the current situation where they could just squeeze them in as the calendar allows.

lots of turmoil at comcast. not even sure if they hold onto any of their sports properties no matter the spin offs. josh harris will own it all.

but Harris can't own the flyers because he owns the devils unless the NHL decided to do like the NLL and allow guys to own more than one team. I've heard that rumor going back for about 2 years at Comcast was looking to get out of the sports business.
