I don't think we would know until the NHL opens up the next expansion process. If Fertitta feels 500-600 million is worth it for a team then there's 3 right there. Quebec would not have to apply and Seattle will apply as I believe the next process revolves around them.
Edit: Agreed that the league may not want to expand too far beyond 32 as they'll want to have a few relos at their disposal.
The errer on the side of caution is Ferittta saying along the lines that it would have to make sense. That doesn't sound like he's a Foley type. Either he would need a partner or may prefer a relocation....could make this a Portland situation with a higher budget.
