Can the NHL support an expansion?

Can the NHL Jerseys support an expansion? In myopinion, absolutely. But, can the NHL support an expansion with Gary Bettmanleading the way; no. The original Southern expansion had great merit andpromise, but the distracted research led to disproportionate decisions andfaulty accomodations. Take South Florida, home of the Panthers, an area of thecountry where Football reigns supreme and other sports (including baseball)struggle. Is there room for a hockey team here, yes, but not an NHL franchise.The Panthers would have been better suited for maybe Birmingham, Alabama or Richmond,VA before bunking up in Sunrise, FL.

 

The biggest problem the Wholesale Jerseys has withexpansion/relocation is regulations regarding arena capacity, accomodations,and population trends. Phoenix would have worked...if the team was in Phoenixand not suburban Glendale. Atlanta has never been a hockey city, the Flamesstruggled here in the 70's/80's and a second chance was unnecessary. Atlanta'sdemographic supports football and baseball much better than a hockey team. In aperfect NBA Jerseys, with perfectfacilities/arenas, the correct area demographics, and commissioner to ownercommunication we could be looking at this:

 

Eastern Conference: Boston Bruins, HartfordWhalers, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, Buffalo Sabres, Ottawa Senators,Toronto Maple Leafs, Quebec Nordiques, Washington Capitals, NFL Jerseys Richmond, Carolina Hurricanes,Tampa Bay Lightning, NHL Hamilton (Ontario), New Jersey Devils, PittsburghPenguins, Philadelphia Flyers, Nashville Predators -- 18, Western Conference:NHL Seattle, Calgary Flames, Vancouver Canucks, Winnepeg Jets, San Jose Sharks,Los Angeles Kings, Anaheim Ducks, NHL Kansas City, Dallas Stars, NHL Oklahoma,Colorado Avalanche, Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Blackhawks, St. Louis Blues,Minnesota Wild, NHL Wisconsin, NHL Cleveland, NHL Portland -- 18, I think we'lleventually see a team in Seattle; the fan base is incredible here and they willsupport the team no matter what. Keeping the Sounders/Seahawks colors wouldgive the city additional identity in their sports franchises and a new arenamay open up the doors for a return of a MLBJerseys team.
