If they don't, the Pens can go anywhere... The very next paragraph of the ESPN story you quoted says: "If, however, the Isle of Capri doesn't get the license, the Penguins will be able to test the open market when their Mellon Arena lease expires in June. The team could choose to leave Pittsburgh for Kansas City or Hamilton, Ontario, or who knows where." I wonder if we sw-ontarians can lobby against Isle of Capri?? A Penguin on skates in Hamilton makes about as much sense as one in Pittsburgh. ;) The big IF is the Isle of Capri getting their licence… If they don’t, the Pens can go anywhere… The very next paragraph of the ESPN story you quoted says:
