I think at some point at least one of the existing US based franchises will run into enough financial trouble to make the move back to Canada. We may be seeing the beginning of that with Nashville now. When that time comes, my pick is Winnepeg as being the top choice unless the Blackberry guy somehow manages to buy a team and picks Hamilton instead. We may see the other two cities regain franchises someday, but I think we are in for a long wait.
FYI Mel: Hartford is closer to the Rangers, Islanders, Devils, Bruins, Flyers and Buffalo. I think any one of those teams would be more likely to raise an issue with a franchise in Hartford than Toronto. (I think he mis-read the city as Hamilton though.)
