Vancouver/Edmonton/Calgary are interchangeable for the next 3, went with Vancouver

It was mentioned during the previous poll, but Vancouver is a really weird one.

We were way too soft on the Benning regime for his first 6 years on the job, but have abruptly become ridiculous (understandably) towards them. This next year will not go well. Was also relentless towards the early 2010s teams for no good reason.

At our peak, we're probably the worst in the league, so you kinda gotta go with Van though.

Easily Vancouver

It's Vancouver.

Look how little tolerance there was for the best GM in franchise history, Gillis, a man who won GM of the year, took the team to Game 7 of the SCF, and got good value for BOTH Schneider and Luongo, when he looked to be in a real bind with both of them under contract.

The fans and media drove him out of town so fast he didn't even get the opportunity to rebuild the team like he wanted to.

Now on the flip side, the fans and media have been extremely patient and much too forgiving of Benning's reign as GM, but I think that's in part because they realized that they were too quick to turn on Gillis, so they overcompensated by taking too long to turn on Benning.

Don’t understand the votes for Boston. Hockey is the third or fourth sport in the city. Same with New York.

Las Vegas Golden Knights would be my vote but they aint there
