They've recently come to an agreement to renovate the old arena (which seems to be why the Governor is pumping this up), and there doesn't seem to be any appetite to build a new one. There's no way the NHL would put a team into a 50 year-old arena that was too small 25 years ago -- with an even smaller capacity now, renovations or not.

Of all the cities that have been mentioned, Hartford is probably the only one that's below Quebec City on the priority list.
