This will give him a leg up when negotiating with the NHL about bringing a new team. Carter and the Alpharetta Sports & Entertainment Group will need all the advantages they can get. Two failed attempts at bringing a team to Atlanta likely have the NHL skeptical of its success this time around. It sounds as though any potential bid is still far away from leading to a new team in the NHL. As this situation further develops we will update the latest details.
