Where would he go? Houston would be a second fiddle tenant situation. QC has their own ownership group. Portland's building is 27 years old and they'd be second fiddle.

Kansas City or bust, I guess? Or maybe he's a good enough buddy that they'd let him move into Toronto?
I'm of the opinion that Salt Lake City would be a viable option. The metro area of Provo and Ogden provide a pretty sizeable market and it is a winter climate that should be supportive of winter sports. They would only have to compete with the Jazz and the arena is pretty decent. Plus for former Flames fans it is a quick flight or relatively easy drive to go see a game.
