There's so many ways that I can answer this.

Of the three cities that you listed, I think Hartford has the best financial chance. Winnipeg would be the sentimental favorite there.

The most likely city that I think will get a team - via relocation or expansion - is Kansas City. Personally, I'd like to see Milwaukee get a team.

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.)

Hartford is a dying city. Quebec should have a team, but will run into the same problems last time. I say Winnipeg, though like Edmonton, no one will want to play there.

If pygmy man is running things who knows really. He still thinks Kansas City deserves another shot. So why not Winnipeg then? Because it's in Canada and we all know Gary hates Canadians. I think it's because he's a fan of Bush really.

Hartford will be too close to TOR, they will undermine such an endeavor. Winne peg had their chance and lost it.
So did Quebec.

None of the above.
It'll be Hamilton when Jim Balsillie moves a team there.
