Don't count on both of those things happening. Columbus is a market that will work once the management gets their crap together and ice a team that makes the playoffs more than once during their whole tenure there. NHL would really prefer to keep Florida around and not leave Tampa Bay alone in the state; as well make sure hockey can touch each corner of the continent. That's another team that has struggled to be competitive so low attendance is not surprising. Give them a chance to be a playoff team for multiple seasons and they could gather decent coin and viewership.
QC and Toronto aren't going to get relocation teams. Too much money to be made via expansion fees, so they will be added teams to the league.
