Ryan Deitch Exactly. How are you growing the game in a place where the arena is half full and the team is constantly losing money? These teams aren't going to be getting national TV coverage to draw viewers either. But Bettman fights like hell to save these money pits when there just isn't interest. Just look at Phoenix. The crowd hasn't shown up since the 2012 Conference Finals, when they claimed they supported their team. At a certain point, the loss of money just isn't worth it. Like Atlanta. And look how much better the team is doing financially in Winnipeg.

Moving the Panthers would be a "first choice" for a revived Nordiques squad ~ Once Arizona dies, they'll be off to Seattle, and that might be what the league is waiting for, in addition to a new arena, but that will happen ONLY when the NBA returns to Seattle.

[@mattdude]

There have been two teams in Quebec, none of them survived. Why do you think that is?

[@OfficialKotaco]

Quebec City is a very small market for an NHL team. Houston makes more sense than Quebec.

[@AppleGuy256]

Matthew R Montreal is in Quebec bud

[@mattdude]

AppleGuy I know that. Let me rephrase it then, a team in Quebec City. Montreal is over 100 miles away from Quebec City so people there can't easily go to a Montreal game.

[@user-mq8ud9kt5z]

I think Seattle would for sure be able to have a stable team.

[@bravesfan31]

There was a good amount of support for the SuperSonics in Seattle. It was just stadium issues that caused them to move to Oklahoma City. Adam Silver is trying to put a team back to Seattle within a few years. I believe that they should either update KeyArena or build a new stadium.

[@DeadlyPicklePlaysMC]

well you're right, its happening.

[@realmofmadness3473]

Hudaman Recent news showed Silver and the NBA are uninterested in expanding the NBA anytime soon, which is unfortunate for Sonics fans.

[@danielmaluenda9731]

They got vancouver close enough, its only if a city is overpopulated that they get two teams in a league. Like L.A and New York.

[@spietroify]

It's so hard to internalize what was going on in the early days of hockey 1875-1930. So many leagues changing, teams folding/moving etc. Not to mention that the Stanley Cup used to be competed for by amateur teams. Then totally different pro leagues in Canada. Quite a chaotic early history, but it paved the way to what we have now.

David Scolare So many clueless people here. Search up 2012 playoffs and tell me Arizona does not care about hockey..they are just fair weather. They do care, but only if the team is good. Literally the only team in the league that needs to be moved is the Florida panthers, because even in the playoffs, there’s still some empty seats. Once again, Arizona is just fair weather fans. Hockey does work in the desert. The team just needs to be good.

[@ezehogan]

I began watching hockey somewhere between ages 4 and 5 when I moved to St. Louis. At the time the league had 21 teams. Even though I’ve been a Blues fan from the beginning I’ve always missed the teams that were lost along the way and felt bad for those fan bases. Of all of them, the North Stars relocation hit me the hardest. I loved the Norris Division when it was comprised of St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto, and Minnesota. Once the North Stars left it felt like the league went wild with changes. Shout out to the Whalers and Nordiques. I hope they make a comeback like the Jets did.

[@andrewjoseph6472]

[@bravesfan31]

This was a really good video. There can still be a good amount of future places for NHL teams. Future Places For NHL Teams: Kansas City Salt Lake City Atlanta Baltimore Cincinnati Cleveland Milwaukee Indianapolis Portland, Oregon Seattle Quebec City San Diego Houston (most likely won't happen) New Orleans (not a big hockey city) San Francisco (it is close to San Jose, but has a chance) This was a very long list and some cities like Houston and New Orleans will probably never get a NHL team because of it's location in the South. However, places like Seattle, Quebec City, and Milwaukee might get a NHL team in the future.

[@Tactyoh]

Hudaman baltimore would be terrible because you’re either a Caps or Flyers fan

[@Sly88Frye]

Why Atlanta? They've tried it twice and both teams moved out.

[@marcpower4167]

I'm gonna say no to Cincinnati and Cleveland as long as Columbus has a team. San Fran is a no, too close to San Jose. Quebec City is a small market but has a dedicated fan base. As much as I'd love to see the return of the Nordiques, it would only happen if a team had to move immediately.

[@Ilovemunchlax1]

SLC, KC, Quebec, Houston are the only ones who can out of this list. With seattle being added the other cities have lots of competition near them.

I'll put this into perspective for you. Please understand this isn't an insult. Ice Hockey is favored more in Canada indeed, however the population in Canada is significantly smaller than the US hence why there are way more US teams. In fact, my home state of California actually has a larger population than the entire country of Canada and I'm not asking for more California teams. I'm happy being only 2 hours away from the San Jose Sharks.
