Don't look for an expansion team as I doubt the NHL is going to expand anymore. If it does it will be another team in southern Ontario.Then there's the problem of finding a team that is willing to reloacte to the Peg. The NHL would have a say in any move like they did with Ballsilly and his attempts to move the Coyotes to Hamilton.

The NHL would rather teams stay where they are if at all possible and will go to great lenghts to see that happen. Even if that doesn't work you have cities south of the border looking for a team. Kansas City has a new arena and odds are the Coyotes could be moving there. Then there's Portland, Las Vegas and Seattle. That's why I don't see a move to Winnipeg ever happening.
