walksalone Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 According to this article, the NHL really wants to go to 32 teams. If they do add a team in Seattle, what is the next location for the 32nd team? Would Omaha be a legit candidate? Las Vegas with their new arena? Salt Lake City? Seattle and Quebec City.... Bank on it... If they choose QC, do they move someone back to the Western Conference? yes, Detroit Quote Link to comment

Bank on it... Quebec City isn't getting their team back. The market is too small and they left because of money troubles. I would be surprised if they did put another team in Quebec since they still have Montreal Canadiens. Quote Link to comment

You might be surprised, it was one of the possible landing spots of the Islanders when they were considering moving... Quote Link to comment
SeeingRedMK Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I guess it's ok since it's for a promotional thing. I can't imagine trying to watch a game on that though Reminds me of Boise State's blue turf and Eastern Washington's red turf in NCAA football. Quote Link to comment

Bank on it... Well, Yahoo! Sports had an article this week that the NHL wants to expand to Seattle. Given the Western Conference has 14 teams and the East has 16, there is room for expansion in the West. The rumors are Seattle is probably going to be a city that will land a franchise. Though I understand there are 2 issues the NHL wants cleared up - finding an ownership group in the area to purchase and support a team & details about a new area. If those can be addressed, then expansion is very likely. As for another city out west, I am not sure. Quebec City also popped into my mind as an ideal expansion. Word has also been a second team in Montreal and Toronto or Hamilton, ON. Quote Link to comment

There was an east coast team that was told that it would not be a "good idea" for them to move their minor league franchise to Seattle. Seattle got boned twice this year, once with the NBA team and the NHL. Seattle has a built in rivalry with Vancouver, you move Detroit back to the west, and Quebec City. Toronto wouldn't surprise me in the least. Quote Link to comment
