The NHL will be expanding no matter what within 2-3 years in order to balance the conferences. As it stands, once Vegas enters the West next season, we’ll be at 15 Western Teams and 16 Eastern Teams. The question that remains is whether the league is better off relocating to Quebec City and expanding to Seattle OR relocating to Seattle and expanding to Quebec.
I believe the NHL is better off with the latter by moving the Hurricanes to Seattle and expanding to Quebec City in 2018 or 2019. Quebec has already proven that they will support a team no matter what after showing complete support of the old Nordiques when they were lucky to win 15 games a season.

If they don’t become the whalers again… I’m going to cry.

I’d love to see that just to see those amazing Whaler jerseys again.

Seattle Whalers sounds good

We already have a brand new arena being constructed here in Milwaukee, would even out the divisions out west and leave the east coast open for a GTA team, or Quebec City in expansion. Otherwise who moves to the central if another team is added in the pacific? Edmonton? Calgary and Vancouver wouldn’t have it. Milwaukee makes the most sense for a move

I’m going to go out on a limb and say Arizona would move to the Central if/when Seattle gets a team. With Colorado already in the Central and Arizona’s relative proximity to Denver(roughly hour and a half flight from Tempe to Denver), it makes it feasible. Moving Arizona to the Central also allows the NHL to keep the Alberta-BC rivalries to remain intact.
