Did the megathread manifested itself in this thread?
In terms of Houston as a possible relocation destination. Only Arizona and Calgary are the candidates in that order.
Ottawa and the Islanders are only moveable if LeBreton and Belmont respectively fall apart. In Ottawa's case, if Melnyk can't make it a go, there are people that want to purchase the team.
Calgary: Talks have restarted between the team and the city. We should know in about a month if Calgary is bidding for the Olympics (with more public funds available).
Arizona, nothing on the radar but not convinced that's good news. Agreed, 2 months or so from now should she'd some light.
Unless Mr. Feritta wants to pony up enough for the league to consider expanding to 33, they're watching on the sidelines.
