As per NHL Trade Rumor, insiders have identified Atlanta and Houston as prime candidates for NHL expansion. Both cities boast thriving sports cultures, state-of-the-art arenas, and untapped fan bases eager for a taste of professional hockey.
Many Canadian fans are outraged by these reports as they believe that either Quebec City, Saskatoon, Hamilton, or Halifax should be the next city considered for an expansion team.
