NHL eyeing Kansas City as next expansion location.

Bill Daly even went as far as sending an email to ESPN.

Wild and blues will play a preseason game there sept 28.
This will be the NHLs 10th "test" game there.

The biggest hurdle for them per TSN article is finding a qualified owner.

Kansas City has the NFLs Chiefs.

I will be very interested to see what transaction rule changes they make if they go through with this in the next five years. Like Las Vegas had X benefits of strategy, will they tweak the rules because it was too much? Was it not enough? We'll see.

Hamilton, Qubec would both be better places for teams first.

Would be really cool if the NHL would get off their high horse and allow failing franchises to move instead of expansion. We've got a few teams that just cant keep their building even close to full, they should be moved first before we look at further expansion IMO~

First team that came to mind aswell. Inexcusable that they are empty during late playoff runs.

Sens should move to Saskatoon. Although im not Canadian so idk what its like there, but just an idea, Saskatoon was a potential landing spot for the Coyotes at one point, and i believe there was an attempt to move i think the blues(?) to Saskatoon back in the 80's.

Saskatoon would fail so fast.
Population density is too sparse for be able to sustain an NHL club. Die hard fans there. Many hockey players born there. But to travel to a game every other night would be out of the question for many
