Probably not super long (as in, within a generation) but you'd need a new building for it to happen. And it would probably be built almost entirely on the city's back like Minnesota (Xcel), Cleveland, Baltimore, etc.
And again, not until a lease expires so unless you can swing the Islanders in 2016 you'll be going more a handful of years without NHL hockey.
