Surely it would be better to put teams in more passionate hockey areas? Seattle made sense but Atlanta really seems like football country. Quebec, Hamilton or the Maritimes seem better and more interesting to me, especially Quebec or the Maritimes. I'm sure I read a study about how Canada could support far more teams despite their smaller population due to the higher proportion of hockey fans.
Moving the NHLs most forgettable team (Coyotes) to Regina would make more sense than another attempt to make hockey relevant in Georgia.
