Kyle 667 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I'm an expansion and Southern market guy, but there are a couple franchises (Florida and Phoenix) I'd rather see relocated before expansion. As much as I hate the Yotes, they aren't moving anywhere for at least awhile. Florida just got a new owner, so they're staying put for now as well. But my god is Florida a dead zone for sports teams in general, excluding the Lightning and CFB.

Fire Tortorella 2,653 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I'd go: PACNW Team: Portland/Seattle Quebec Toronto #2 KC Houston (Huge and growing city, would draw people simply on population) I don't see 2 teams in Texas working, and I don't really want to see a second team in Toronto. If it were up to me, I'd go Seattle/Portland and QC.

If it were up to me, I'd go Seattle/Portland and QC. It's the 4th largest city in the US and 3 1/2 hours away from Dallas.. I don't think it will be a huge issue, tbh. But I see where you are coming from, absolutely. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/349-2013-2014-nhl-discussion-thread/page/17/#findComment-16881 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachReilly 688 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Portland/Seattle are two excellent sports cities. I can guarantee Seattle would provide excellent support. It's a joke the NBA Sonics got relocated (Charlotte pl0x).

Squinty 116 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I read an article the other day in THN I think, saying that if/when the NHL does expand, Seattle is all but guaranteed Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/349-2013-2014-nhl-discussion-thread/page/17/#findComment-17016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Moderator frescoelmo 1,282 Posted December 11, 2013 Head Moderator Share Posted December 11, 2013 Portland/Seattle are two excellent sports cities. I can guarantee Seattle would provide excellent support. It's a joke the NBA Sonics got relocated (Charlotte pl0x). If/when it comes to it, I'd be surprised if Paul Allen didn't get his hands on it... Would probably take ownership and prefer Portland if I had to guess. He already has the Trailblazers there and could just tack onto the lease at the Rose Garden which already has Winterhawks games... they could just move across the street to the Vet I'd imagine. Seattle would be a completely different beast. Plus then I get to watch an NHL team locally Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/349-2013-2014-nhl-discussion-thread/page/17/#findComment-17025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachReilly 688 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 They have the most popular MLS team. If America can get behind a soccer team in a very middle tier league, they can get behind a team in the premier league in the world.

Having gone to 10+ games this summer, people actually campout overnight to wait in line for seats. I'd go see Portland games and visit Fresco and get drunk.

CoachReilly 688 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 HawksRox Marcus Kruger may be the best 4th line center I've ever seen. He easily has the talent to be on a top 2 or 3 line. Wins face offs, skates well, handles the puck very well, defends very well, passes well, shoots ok.
