It all depends on ownership.

It seems like Ottawa's current ownership is willing to spend a little to win, so that will help in drawing new free agents. Ottawa has had a better scouting system and tends to create stars more than Tampa.

The main problem I see in Tampa is that the sport isn't important to the city. Will people show up this season coming or was last year just a quick love affiar that will be all over in October? If thats the case, then I dont think the Tampa frnachise will survive that long.

So if all things stay equal, I would put my money on Ottawa being a more successful franchise for a longer period of time.
