All other options, viable as they may be "in the right situation" are currently NOT candidates, for arena, market or entry price reasons.
Arenas can be built.....I can understand that a place without any suitable arena isn't a candidate. But, even Birmingham Alabama has a suitable arena to host an NHL team for a while.
Entry price reasons? You don't know who the owner would be. How can you rule out a market because of the entry price? A person worth $970B could show up and decide they'd like to own an NHL team in Sioux City, Iowa.
Forget potential owners and costs.
If a current owner or a multi-billionaire new owner.....decides they want an NHL franchise somewhere....is that somewhere a location that could support an NHL team?
I like the idea of looking more at the market, instead of how they would get a team , what it would cost, who would own it....all that bullspit.
If tomorrow there was an NHL team in San Antonio.....would it do alright? Nevermind HOW they got a team...or WHO owns the team or WHAT the team cost. Could that market do alright?
