@@adamrothsteinhockey I don’t know what the best option would be, but with how much of a rivalry we have with the badgers for hockey, I think them building an arena wouldn’t be too far of a stretch
@@robserrano8971 why are you yelling? haha but I don't think the NHL would let them level up but I agree 100% that Milwaukee needs an NHL team. There is an established hockey market in WI. That is my #1 vote for the next expansion team.
The reason Why I didn't put Hartford on the list is because they only have a population of about 120,000 people. Also, The Whalers have been gone for nearly 30 years now. The NHL fans who live in or just outside of Connecticut are either Rangers fans, Islanders fans, Devils fans or Bruins fans. As cool as it would be to have them back, the market would be too crowded for them to get their feet off the ground.
You said the reason they will never come back. Same as Nordiques. They sell more merchandise on those teams then half the current league. Its like 2 extra teams already in revenue
Put two in Canada ahead of Phoenix and Atlanta. These Canadian cities are Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and Québec City, Québec. Time to expand to Canada in the NHL. It's time for a Canadian commissioner of the NHL to head the league. Two USA cities to expand to are Houston and Kansas City. Portland is a crime riddled city. Charlotte won't get a team because there's already a team in Raleigh-Durham region. Saskatoon would be like the Green Bay of the NHL. That's my take.
Once again it wasn't the fans that hurt hockey in Atlanta it was horrible ownership both times. Atlanta will get an expansion team as far as NC having two teams no chance in hell even though most people still thank the Hurricanes play in Charlotte rather than Raleigh
we need a NHL team in Cleveland...we had teams in the 60s and 70s. Plus we are a hockey town. Our high schools have hockey teams, we have hockey rinks all over the area and we are surrounded by other hockey cities like Columbus, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Buffalo. The Cleveland/Akron/Youngstown area could support hockey and is close enough for other hockey fans to come thru,
Gary Bettman has 32 bosses, and 7 of those bosses are Canadian base, and 42% of all NHL players are Canadian… if Bettman was anti-Canadian, he would have been fired decades ago. One forgets Bettman brought revenue sharing when the Canadian dollar was weak, and Edmonton and Ottawa failed to break even. Edmonton contemplated relocation. Gary Bettman is paid to be the scapegoat of the 32 owners who control the league and Gary Bettman. So Quebec City doesn't have a team for 2 reasons… the owners didn't think Quebec City brought enough to the league in new money and would be financially weak. Winnipeg is losing money with a top team, a tiny arena with 2500 empty seats and one of the wealthy Canadian billionaires as the owner. The second reason is that no legitimate owners are willing to invest long-term. Quebecor has backed off their interest, and the owner is a well-publicized separatist. This doesn't help the image of the other 6 Canadian owners and infringes on Montreal's profits. Right now, no one has shown interest in a team in Quebec City who could afford a team. As for the minor league team selling out every game... They don’t. The Quebec City Ramparts sell only 9000 tickets a game in a 17,000-seat arena, and the tickets are worth $19 a ticket, not $100 a ticket for an NHL game. One needs to sell 41 games at $100 a seat every season, season after season, and not enough people from outside Quebec City can travel to Quebec City on weekdays in Quebec Winters for 2/3 of the NHL games. A round trip from Montreal would be 6 hours, and how many fans would drive 6 hours on a weekday for 28 NHL weekday games? Quebec City is too small, not rich enough, and too isolated (Hamilton has Toronto minutes away), and no deep-pocket owners willing to invest long-term (short-term fans will eat it up ... long-term???) PLUS, Quebec City already buys NHL TV packages, goes to NHL games and buys NHL merchandise, so the NHL makes money off of Quebec City without risking anything.
Houston is not the 4th largest media market. They are the 4th largest city by population. The most recent DMA market rankings had Houston 7th for media market size. Just FYI.
Too many NHL teams having folded I think the NHL should reconsider expansion. It's a sport that simply doesn't have the level of fan interest as does the 3 other largest professional sports.
I WOULD ADD EXPANSION TEAMS ARIZONA COYOTES 2.0, ATLANTA THRASHERS 2.0, HOUSTON AEROS OR PUMAS, NEW ORLEANS NAVIGATORS, PORTLAND LUMBERJAX, MILWAUKEE ADMIRALS, BALTIMORE STALLIONS OR ARMADA, OKLAHOMA CITY OUTLAWS OR TWISTERS, KANSAS CITY SCOUTS OR MUSTANGS, HARTFORD WHALERS OR COLONIALS, MONTERREY EAGLES. IF STAN K WANTS A TEAM IN SAN DIEGO, THEN HE CAN BUY THE ANAHEIM DUCKS AND MOVE THE TEAM TO SAN DIEGO STAN CAN REBRAND TO SAN DIEGO GULLS THE BRAND HAS A FAN BASE ALREADY. OR TO THE SKIPPERS, SIMILAR TO WHA MARINERS. RELOCATE SAN DIEGO GULLS AHL TEAM TO ANAHEIM AND REBRAND TO ANAHEIM DUCKS AS RELOCATION AHL TEAM. WIN, WIN FOR EVERYONE. STAN HAS NO PROBLEM DEVELOPING AROUND HONDA CENTER. ARROWHEAD POND SOUNDED BETTER, IMO.
I would add QUEBEC NORIQUES with HALIFAX LIONS as their farm team. HAMILTON TIGERS OR HAMMERS with WINDSOR AVIATORS as their farm team. SASKATOON CARIBOU with REGINA GREY WOLVES as their farm team. After Bettman is gone.
@mr.brenman2132 you mean like the good for business like Arizona? Look how long Bettman hung on to that mess for. Of course toronto and Montréal don't want another team in the east of Canada. But the rest of the owners would get paid for it.
When the Canadiens play the Leafs ... or Boston against the Rangers ... the games are "special"! When the Kraken play Nashville... or LV vs Florida, NHL traditionalists are like WTF! 🙄

if they are going to add 4 more teams it should be Milwaukee, Portland, Quebec City, maybe Indianapolis or Hartford. Keep the teams in established hockey markets.
What if one new team is in Saskatoon & another in Monterrey, Mexico with a big ski resort in the only Latin American IIHF country (Arizona native Auston Matthews' heritage) with a traditional hockey-like game pelota purépecha & is only an 8 & 9 hour drive from Houston & Dallas respectively?
We need the WHA back Hartford Milwaukee Indianapolis Houston Cleveland Cincinnati Quebec City Hamilton Saskatoon Toronto Birmingham San Diego hockey gets stale when it has no competition we need a rival league Hockey was exciting in the 70's when MR Hockey said "it was a good league" players who don't get a chance get a chance. At the end of the WHA they where on par with the NHL. Ignoring these markets are just to there own detriment .
yes...we are a hockey town. We had NHL in the 60s-70s and we have tons of hockey rinks here, plus alot of our high schools (including mine) have hockey teams

I'm not against it just unsure if a team in Alabama would work. The south generally is not really interested in hockey, at least Texas and Florida are big enoug markets to make up for that. Alabama, Mississippi or Louisiana would be really hard.
Stan Kroenke said that he wants a NHL team in San Diego since they are going to be building a fresh state of the art stadium.
Do you think they'll move the Ducks to San Diego?

Bring back the Hartford Whalers. Their merch still sells a lot. They had a loyal following and the best logo in NHL history.
I wish they made a Whalers jersey in the Carolina colors

If you were going to Omaha, the Demigarch WWarren Buffett would have to pay for it, and he's such a cheapskate that I think it's a nonstarter.

Quebec already buys NHL stuff. That means there is no extra revenue to gain and there is no point to have a team there.

I agree with you. But knowing Bettman, he will definitely want to expand.
There will be no new Canadian teams until Bettman is gone.

Bettman speaks on the behalf of the ownership. Including Canadian ownership obviously. It makes zero business sense to put another team in Canada.

Gary Bettman still thinks that C-A-T spells DOG.
Non of us will live to see an NHL Mexican expansion, there's 0 interest about hockey down here
If there would be a pro sports team there it would be NBA
40 NHL TEAMS BY 2040. 10 TEAMS IN CANADA. OR 9 TEAMS AND 1 IN MEXICO. LIKE THE MONTERREY EAGLES.
When u see some of the existing teams coming to your arena and h have zero interest in them, then expansion is not the answer. Contraction is.
SASKATOON CARIBOU AND MONTERREY EAGLES.
