It is what it is. There are no ideal markets left. Some like to make a big stink about how Bettman/the NHL hate Canada when it comes to expansion. They obviously don’t. Canada is just out of viable markets at the current price.
A 2nd Toronto market would be very functional. Obviously, there's the issue of the leafs not wanting to give up their territory, but it would absolutely be a solid franchise.
On the flipside, would you really be attracting major growth with a 2nd Toronto team or are you just cannibalizing disgruntled leaf/Sabre fans.
