It isn't about drawing extra fans, it's about increasing revenue. And you are going to increase revenue more, with a team in Ontario, then you are with a team in Atlanta.
How does having two teams increase revenues? Seriously? Two full arenas doubles gate revenue. And you can charge a LOT more per ticket in Ontario than you can in Atlanta. Then there is TV revenue. Two Ontario teams means more people from the densest hockey fanbase watching more games. Take a look at the viewing audiences of teams in the southern US.
