Two teams would even out the divisions.
Would the Leafs have to big of a stranglehold on the Toronto market to where another team couldn't flourish?
Quebec had the Nordiques.
I think Seattle might would work if the money makers can angle for a NBA/NHL arena and land BOTH.

I hear there's room in Atlanta
RE: NHL Expansion - DawgNBama - 02-01-2014 07:16 PM
Seattle or Portland
Atlanta
Quebec City
Hartford

Seattle and Portland as a pair would be nice, instant rivalry not only amongst one another but also with Vancouver.

These weren't for lack of fan support. Some decent ownership and you'd have a successful situation.
However, I couldn't care less if there's a hockey team in Atlanta. I don't think there's any interest from a prospective owner, or the league anyways.

#3?
With the Capitals and the Hurricanes in basically the same DMA?

Yeah, I read about that ownership group kind of ruining the Thrashers staying... not sure how the league would want to go back to a city that has already been through two stints though...

I'm not a fan of putting teams in the south, 1 Florida team was enough...

While I get you, the NHL needs a southern presence to keep it relevant for more of the country. In other words, you need teams in your area for you to care about it.

True, I just don't think Florida deserves a 2nd team in the panthers, fan supports never been good.

The Caps and Canes might be the only reasons Virginia doesn't happen, but there would be the lure of a new arena, and a state without a team of its own. The big catch may be the regional TV rights - I think Fox uses Fox Sports Carolinas for at least parts of Virginia, but it may be an opportunity for them to set up a dedicated Virginia channel. There would also be MASN/MASN 2.
Virginia would also be of some value to NBC/NBCSN - the three Virginia based DMAs have over 1.7 MM TV Households, which would fall between Miami/Ft. Lauderdale and Minneapolis/St. Paul. It's also a short trip from Raleigh or Washington for production crews.

Well...they have FOX Sports South which I believe goes as far north as NC. I believe Tennessee is tied to that and then you move downward to Florida. FOX Sports Carolinas is a subset and I think ONLY does NC and SC. However, they have been known to show Predators(NHL) games on replay, Hawks games (on replay), and I want to say Braves games LIVE too.

The Hurricane's radio guy likes the ideas of Seattle and Quebec, but thinks Kansas City has merit.
RE: NHL Expansion - DexterDevil - 03-20-2014 05:37 PM
Seattle fans would be crazy to have, should use the Junior Hockey Team's logo that is out there. "Seattle Thunderbirds" search it.
RE: NHL Expansion - TardisCaptain - 03-31-2014 01:59 PM
I'd love to see an NHL team in Salt Lake City. However I haven't heard of any rumblings for that possibility. MLB would probably hit Utah before NHL.

When Bettman finally gives up on his AZ Coyotes dream, they could move to SLC.
