It'd be really small odds right now but if Buffalo can't have him (we better be getting Eichel then!) then I'll say Minnesota. Another small market team in a traditional market that could use a little star power added.
I despise the idea of the Rangers, Flyers and to a lesser extent the Devils getting him because it would feel like such a manipulation by the NHL to get him into a major media market.
Minny is not a small market. It's a market of roughly 3.5 million people. Minneapolis–St. Paul, MN-WI with a population of about 3.8 million people as of the 2010 Census, ranked the 14th most populous in the U.S.
To call it a small market is just ridiculous.
