Houston seems like a no brainer to me, I'm not sold on Atlanta.
Southern Ontario has the fan base but on top of expansion fees they would need to resolve territorial rights issues with the Leafs and possible Sabres ($$$). Quebec City has the issue of being largely francophone. The TV market ($$$ again) is relatively small and (my opinion) would be tough to attract players to come to, in particular free agents. That might be good for Winnipeg and Edmonton as Quebec City could probably be the least attractive market in the league for players.
