Possible teams

It's pretty clear the NHL is in no situation to expand their league. They are probably stretched out with teams too far already. This means if Seattle ever gets a team it will need to be through relocation. In Seattle we arent fans of relocation for obvious reasons, but sometimes it has to happen for economic stability of a franchise. The 6 franchises with the lowest attendance are (from low-worse): Florida, Boston, Nashville, Columbus, Phoenix, NY Islanders. The Boston and NY Islanders stats are surprising to me. I didn't expect to see that. But the other 4 are. All those cities have been rumored to be relocated because of the lack of attendance and following. A team like Nashville could be a good possibility. Tennessee has never shown they were big in hockey. Still havent. It would be in the league's best interest to move to Seattle for two reasons- first is the market size, and 2nd is the history and interest. It also has a bigger field to get corporate support than Nashville or a couple of the others too.
