I know, 3rd post today....it's a flood!
Rogers Sportsnet CHL analyst Sam Cosentino apparently has a source who has told him that the Chilliwack Bruins to Victoria rumors actually represent a done deal and that the parties involved are just waiting for the Bruins' season to end (they trail Spokane 2-0 in their first round playoff series) to make it official.
You can hear Cosentino's comments here.
Transcript of his comments here.
One thing appears to be missing here though - the WHL board of governors needs to approve (A) the move and (B) the sale of the team to new owners - and neither of those things has happened.
After the league bent over backwards to help keep the Americans in Tri-City (an event which led to the existence of the Bruins in the first place), you would certainly think that the league would want to do the same to try to keep the Bruins in Chilliwack.
Especially since the majority owner, Darryl Porter, is the same in both cases. Hey, maybe at some point you have to question who the real problem is here and whether Porter tries hard enough to make things work before looking for greener pastures.
