Oilers will have more fans because of McDavid but I think they would rank 4th. I think the Flames outrank the Jets who have less people in Manitoba than all of Calgary
On another note I wonder who most of the people in Saskatchewan cheer for? Flames, Oilers, Jets?

The Oilers are an older franchise with more success. Likewise, they are the furthest north team, so they have heaps of fans in North Sask, BC, WPG and the territories.
EDIT:
