Check this out from today's Oklahoman:

"Are we major-league yet? No, but we're on the right track," said Lund, who also teased the crowd with plans for a "major Blazers announcement" Aug. 26 at the state Capitol. "

Hmmm. Wonder what the major announcement is that Brad Lund is referring to.
With the NHL all in shambles right now, I'm not sure moving up to the NHL would be a good move. Could the Blazers be leaving the CHL and moving up to the American Hockey League, a AAA league? Could the CHL be raised a notch and become a AAA legue? Could the Blazers in fact be taken the top level, becoming and NHL team?

What do you guys think?

downtownguy, do you have any information on this?

By theway, league-wide last season, the NHL had an average attendance of around 4,000......very terrible. The Blazer's averaged 8,763, right in line with their yearly average over the past few years, although not as high as in the first years of the Blazers franchise.
