Kansas
Houston
Portland.
None of these cities have a strong market value to gain interest in hockey.
It'll be the same fate if it went to Salt Lake City, which is a damn shame because of its nice arena.
Pittsburgh itself has better revenue and market exposure than 1/3 of the league.
Since there are no teams around Kansas and Portland, they can easily build a market, if done properly, but that takes time, and with these two cities, they might have relocate back to Pittsburgh because Bettman is a tool.
Houston would cut down on Dallas market value, and probably a good chunk too, because who can draw more star power??? Modano or Crosby? Who's more marketable?
Hartford might be able to survive because the Boston market and the New York market isn't as strong as it once use to be, and Hartford needs a new arena.
Quebec City would thrive on a new hockey team, and so would Winnipeg. I'd say the only city in the states that also deserves a hockey team is Seattle.
