I can agree with that I guess, but the Hurricanes have been infinitely more successful then the Whalers ever were.

Who woulda thunk Carolina and Nashville could sustain hockey and Atlanta was such a train wreck for the Thrashers.

Wasn't a total surprise really--there had been rumblings about it with Irsay rumored to have been visiting various cities though he denied it. People were shocked it actually happened though. I think the city tried to do some sort of eminent domain thing with them. Irsay wanted to move the team from the very day he took over it.

Not necessarily bad, but I always thought the Expos were cool. Don't feel the same way about the Nationals.

Give it time and I imagine St Louis Rams to LA will overall look bad.

LA has a couple of the most out of place team names in sports.
Dodgers were a nickname to people who had to dodge all the trolleys in Brooklyn, not so much in LA.
Lakers originally were based in Minneapolis, a city and state known for lakes.
Along with the Utah Jazz, a team originally from New Orleans and the Arizona Cardinals, originally from Chicago and you have 4 wtf were they thinking moments.

And the worst move is the Supersonics.
