Panthers in danger!

Even with the success they have enjoyed in the last few years and the very good team they have built, the fan support isn't present in Florida and the Panthers are having a lot of trouble selling tickets. The team, who is on sale right now, could very well move to another city if the new owners find this option viable.

Two cities keep coming back in discussions as the viable places for a potential relocation:

Kansas City, with the recent built of the Sprint Center and the success of their new team, NBA's Kansas City Eagles, are at the top of most lists.

Hartford, with the Red Bull Place expected to be completed in January 2010, is another great option that could bring the comeback of the Whalers.

Let's make this a bit more interactive while I'm writing the next update: What happens to the Panthers? Will they be sold to an owner planning to move them to Kansas City, an owner planning to move them to Hartford or an owner planning to keep them in Florida? You chose!
