Only way it would work. Considering what else they are known for, Hartford Insurance Adjusters just doesn't have the same logo potential.

Connecticut is also a bit challenged in that most of the cities are crapholes, while the nicest areas and wealthiest people are spread out in the suburbs/countryside. There is plenty of money there to be spent on professional sports, as they have some of the richest people in the country, but I'm not sure you have enough concentration of people in any one spot to really make it work. I also imagine most of where the money is are the areas that start encroaching on Rangers/Isles territory.
I'd be all for the Whalers coming back, but I imagine it wouldn't be the most sound franchise business wise this go around either.
