Latest reports have said that the league will welcome these in the 2017 expansion. Who would watch games in Vegas? It's all workers and gamblers. Seattle and Quebec City will work. Another Toronto does not make sense.

I think Vegas is wrong place for any pro expansion !! People in here don't care to go to the games !!Comment -
NHL is Talking Expansion of 4 New Teams
So, I say, Hamilton, Saskatoon, Halifax and of course Quebec City.

Indianapolis would be a good place. No matter what sport people always show up. Even our Triple A team has the highest avg attendance in all of the Triple A International league and 2nd most in total attendance.
Even our minor league soccer team in the NASL leads(or a close second unsure) that in attendance. 10.3k a game is pretty impressive for the NASL.
For a small market, we pack the seats well.Comment -
It will be cool having a team in Seattle. Vegas will suck though. It will be a circus.Comment -
the Houston Rockets owner is probably pissed. he's been trying to get an NHL franchise in Houston for years. that's a slap in the face by giving Toronto a second one.Comment -
Vegas will draw
hotels will have packages to gamesComment -
Just what the NHL needs - more players with minor league talent filling out rosters. The best thing that could happen to improve the NHL is contraction and a reduction of regular season games.
Yes I know it will never happen because it is all about
. There is no limit to the greed of the owners. I miss the days when hockey was a sport and not a business.

Vegas might be better suited for NBA
Hockey a tougher sellComment -
The above poster is right the NHL needs to be getting rid of teams not bringing in new teams. No League needs expansion. The nhl is watered down all ready and way too many games heck we were only about one month away from the new season didn't the old season just get done. Another reason to hate Bettmen.That is coming from a Nhl fan.Plus where are they gong to get new referees from the NHL Is the worse officiated league already.Comment -
definitely a terrible statementOriginally posted by jyoung232373
all but done deal will have NHL and MLS team in VegasComment -
Indy interesting....and what about Milwaukee?
Interesting Houston #7 in AHL attendance before going to Iowa last season. Right before them San Antonio at #6.Comment -
None of it will happen. Just talk.
The most 2 teams and that's a big if soon.
No way Toronto is getting a 2nd teamComment -
Adding 4 teams to the NHL is a horrendous idea. The league needs to be thinking about relocation, not expansion. They did the right thing with the Atlanta/Winnipeg move, very well played. Now it's time to move the Islanders, Sabres and Panthers. These teams don't draw, have less than stellar facilities and haven't produced a consistent winner in quite a few years. Move the Islanders to Quebec City (lost of history with both), move the Sabres to Seattle and move the Panthers to Houston/San Antonio/Milwaukee.
Forget about this horseshit of two teams in Toronto or a team in Vegas.Comment -
Florida needs to get relocated to Quebec City. Seattle is a good idea.Comment -
Moving Buffalo is stupid idea. Especially to Texas lol they have Dallas who doesnt have great attendenceComment -
two teams in florida and potentially two teams in texas lol only ice there is in people's drinksComment -
You're right. I didn't realize the Sabres have drawn so well in their down years. I knew they drew well when they were winning, seems like the fan base is solid.
Two whomever commented on the 2 teams in Florida AND Texas....that's the point. Get the Panthers out of Miami and try another warm weather location. Houston has 5x the population that Miami does.Comment -
what the hell else they gonna do in buffalo? you think houston cares about hockey cmon...one team in a warm weather state is more than enough. seattle and quebec city should be the only consideration right now imo..win or lose there will be fansComment -
kansas city was actually a big option once upon a time i wonder what changedComment
a Valeri Bure jersey
