An Alaska based team would be cool just for the exoticism of it. The travel would give them significant home ice advantage aswell i guess.

Utah lol no.
TV coverage map:
by county proximity, pre-Seattle:
Regarding Houston, they have 600K more residents than Phoenix but close enough proximity to San Antonio and Austin (vs Dallas) to make one of those three the viable host city at least in name.

I could see an SLC team gaining fans from the Avs, Knights, and the Flames. Idaho with the 3rd largest population of Mormons at 500k would love to have their own team to cheer for.
The SLC or Utah:
Tetotalers? Polygamists? No-funners? Arches? CrowdedSkiResorts?
A lot of Mountain Lions / Cougars in the state so that'll be a safe bet.
Yes, I'm bored.

Problem is they don’t have the population density to really support it. Ankorage isn’t as big as you think. Neat place to visit though

Not a real surprise. I really hope Toronto brings in a Hockey Man (or Hockey Men) to do something stupid!
Love Maine. If my wife wasn’t such a southern girl I’d seriously consider moving there. Awesome weather, tons to do outside, and a great beer scene.
I wonder if this was his choice to step down. He seemed pretty defeated at the press conference and said the job has been really hard on his family.

“Awesome weather”?
There is some solace in that….but not much!
Summers are awesome. Normally peaks in the high 70s / low 80s and is one of the more comfortable places during those months. The Spring and Fall months are in the 50s and 60s. Winter can be a bit much but I much more prefer the cold winters in the Northeast to the swampy summers in the Mid-Atlantic.
If you like the heat then yeah it’s not for you. If you like mild summers and if you like cool, crisp fall as the leaves change colors then Maine is top notch.

Yeah, Portland is awesome as a beer snob. Helps that Allagash is my favorite brewery (I'm very much into their style).
