Kansas city would be a good one, its relatively close to St. Louis so their is a demand for hockey. I think bettman would prefer Houston to keep his failed pet project close to the south. Also they would be a few hours from Dallas and the Stars.
I think Quebec is the most unlikely, SLC would be interesting with the California market and new VGK in Nevada nearby.
Coyotes will go to where ever they can fleeze the local tax payers to pay for a new arena. American socialism at work, billionaire owners screwing the working class hockey fans. The Ottawa Senators had to buy the land and build their own arena then pay for the highway access and other infrastructure. Sadly Buttman wil never allow another Canadian team.
here is the step that needs to be taken. Businessmen using all their own funds, building a factory to produce their product in, and keeping all the profits. Or absorbing all the losses. Sound good Gary? Oh. Why not?
To be fair … Vegas and Seattle owe their success to very smart selections made in their respective expansion drafts … not because they are simply "in a new city." When Arizona moves, they will be taking the same tired team to a new location with zero improvement to the on ice product.
I don't know that Kansas City is a big hockey town. I know several people that live there, and they never mention hockey. Houston is a much bigger market (nearly 5 times the population of KC) with much more upside. I doubt we will ever see a team move from south of the border to north of the border again in our lifetimes … unless there's no other option.
I don't know how the man running a professional sports league can be surprised that a team in Phoenix (a city in the desert that has the Diamondbacks, Cardinals, and Suns) would not get the taxpayers excited to spend a couple hundred million in tax dollars.
Honestly… I think Bettman has to go. He might've expanded things and been effective in the past, but now? Yikes.
You sound like a bitch. #SavetheYotes. I am a Yotes fan & yes it sucks that AZ has a crappy fan base but the few that are loyal like me are heart broken !! We hope they don’t leave…. So kick rocks you stiffler
There’s one thing people in the comments don’t understand. As much as I would love a team in Quebec, it’s probably never going to happen. Emotionally, it’s great. But financially, it’s suicide. Mainly because of taxes and economic issues. Being paid in the Canadian dollar has been a problem and the higher taxes of Canada can result in players staying away from those teams, or demanding more money to balance it out. This is especially interesting when 3/4 of the teams left in the playoffs have 0 individual income tax. It has nothing to do with Gary Bettman hating Canada and Canadians.
I like the idea of Milwaukee. Don't think the nhl is looking there right now. If it's over night deal, I can see them going to Salt Lake City, not the nhls first choice of a city because it's a smaller city and all ready has the Utah Jazz and both a winter sport and would be in the same Arena. Right now I think Kansas city is best choice in short term just because they have a ready building and don't have to compete with the NBA or in the same building, it seems Houston Atlanta would come in the future or by 2030 and probably expansion, as for Quebec city don't think the nhl honestly is interested. But more humor. Of the fans. But forever is to long I perdition is by 2035 for Quebec city and not before, as much as canada shuld bring it up from 7 to 10 teams. Or after future Bettmen retirement. So short term or by next season I say Kansas city, long term Atlanta by 2025

Lmaooo gary bettman a piece of poo, he should retire already 😂😂🤣🤣💩💩💩🤢🤢🤢🤢
GOOD, LET HIM BE! He's moved heaven and earth to keep that failing desert team alive. But turning every Canadian team down at every turn.
It would dope if there was a team in Mexico.
Quebec
Id like to see salt lake city, it actually snows there
The yotes ain’t leaving nor are the fans
How do you figure they've won 1 playoff gaame?Pretty sure they made the conference finals in 2012
Def Québec city, we already have the fan base, the arena is built in a great spot, and the last 2 expansion teams have been in the west.
Québec

Salt Lake city or Provo would be good.
I only want coyotes to stay in the desert. And I’m Canadian.
Nordiques are back!!
Quebec or any other Canadian City. NHL has too many warm cities now.
Bad clickbait, they aren't leaving.
