It is possible in the NHL too. Only reason the Oilers won’t win a Cup is because of horrific management. Objectively to have McDavid and be one of the worst teams in the league is all because their management is terrible, not because they are in a small market.
In the NHL there are 17 larger metro areas than Tampa, 18 larger metro areas than Colorado, 19 larger than St. Louis, I guess the question is what is a small market. If over half the league is in metro areas that are larger than your area you are definitely not in a big market.
