They have an arena, it's a traditional hockey market and they have enough corporate support to make it work," Bloom told the Winnipeg Sun.But Bloom also says it's not a lock as there would be stiff competition from at least five other cities including Houston, Oklahoma City, Kansas City and Portland.Fedorov wants out of B.C.October 5 @ 8:19 AMFedor Fedorov's career in Vancouver may be over before it really had a chance to start.According to the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Canucks have offered Fedorov a two-way contract, something Fedorov and his agent J.P. Barry want no part of."We want a one-way and if they want a two-way and we want a one-way that doesn't work," Barry told the Vancouver Sun. "They have to explore all of their options."If the Canucks don't trade Fedorov, Barry said his client likely will return to play in the Russian Super League. Fedorov has a contract with Magnitogorsk Melallorg, a team in southwest Siberia, which Barry says is worth in excess of $500,000.</blockquote>
