Does Your City Deserve an NHL Team?
With the recent rumors of NHL expansion, one has to wonder, which cities are truly deserving? Assuming your city doesn't already have a team, is the city you identify with one of the worthy?

Seattle NHL games would be well attended I believe, as it gives folks something to do to get out of the rain during those damp autumn and winter evenings. I think Las Vegas would fail because the games would have too much competition from other venues.

I am down for the Europe expansion! Munich would be a great spot.

Much like the NFL, I'm against expansion overseas. Traveling cross-country is difficult enough on players, imagine what traveling over an ocean would do to 'em.

I would love to see another Canadian team, but wouldn't care to see a second one in Toronto. Maybe a city like Hamilton could support one if the people from the surrounding areas came out consistently to see the games.

Hamilton could easily support another team. A team a block away from the ACC could easily support another team.

Another Canadian city gaining traction is Saskatoon. Personally, I believe they'd be a great fit. Not only would the league be adding a team in the Western Conference, there's a viable following there, as seen with their CFL team.
Re: Does Your City Deserve an NHL Team?
You bet it does. Wait. my city already has an NHL team. I mean, it deserves another one; that way we increase our chances of winning something.
I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

Q.C. And Seattle are my faves, but why expand? Relocate Florida to QC and Arizona to Seattle. The only reason to expand is the owners get a big pay day I suppose.

Smack dab in the middle of Kitchener, Cambridge, Waterloo... Over 500,000 people (include Guelph and Brantford and northern townships under Georgian Bay... Way better than Hamilton. But doubt I'll ever see it.

9 million people and one ice rink. I don't think we are ready.
