Seattle, Vegas, Houston and Quebec would be really cool imo
The greater Portland area is about 2.35 million. I would think that the Winterhawks might be forced out if they got an NHL team.

I think the same would happen in Seattle, I think if Seattle ever gets an NHL team the Thunderbirds & Silvertips would likely relocate or fold.
