Where Will The Next Two Nhl Franchises Be?

[Shu]

Vegas that would be the richest team in the league, they would probably make half their buck off of betting in Vegas

[BTH]

Las Vegas and Kansas City are supposedly the most likely destinations. Though I've heard Seattle and Portland would be good places. Hartford, Winnepeg, Hamilton and Quebec are good too.

If a team would be put in Vegas it would probably be an expansion

They need more Canadian teams. I'm serious nobody really cares about hockey around here. The powers at be in the media aren't covering it. This means the game won't get exposure. And hockey will further become a niche sport here.

Oh it just dawn on me if the NHL goes back to Winnipeg I don't think they can use the word Jets. So I say name them the Polar Bears! since Manitoba is the Polar Bear capital of North America. (well churchill is)lol.

Atlanta only supports the Braves. Jerry Bruckheimer has apparently said that he would pay 250Million!!! for a team to be put in Las Vegas during the next expansion. I think that Winnipeg could get the name Jets back theyd just have to pay the Yotes some sort of compensation... its not like they have throwback jerseys with the Jets logos on them anyways cuz nobody in Phoenix knows where Winnipeg is.

True. But Atlanta doesn't even support the braves. The Braves are an odd team. More people follow them outside of the Atlanta area in places like rural Georgia, Alabama, Northern Florida, South Carolina, Eastern Tennesse. Nobody shows up for Braves games. Heck during their glory days nobody showed up until the NLCS! Atlanta is a horrible sports town.
