The interesting thing about a Coyotes relocation is how terrible the team will be for the next few seasons...it's probably not the way you want to break into Houston or KC.
QC seems like the best market to tolerate a few years of suck...sophisticated fans who will be okay with the long game and happy enough to see good hockey from visiting teams.
I do wonder how much the league will be looking at a 2nd team in TOR. There are a lot ways that could play out, but I don't think it would be with a team parachuting in on short notice. If the Senators can't get their ship together in the long-term it could make some sense.
