Or the NHL leaking in the hopes Houston and Atlanta decide to go harder for expansion teams.

NHL in New Orleans would never work. Too poor and a low amount of hockey fans is nto a good combo.

I think that there were NHL people who were expecting that going into Vegas would bring a whole lot of tabloid worthy nonsense, that would keep them in the news cycle for ever and ever. Sin City, but what they got was Disney City.
So, New Orleans, leaning into the Voodoo and the ruckus and the naughtiness and the nonsense. If it's going to be just another blah, why bother?

NOLA as a market makes little sense and the Bensons don’t own the arena, the state does. So I doubt this is serious.

Sounds like some mid level execs at the NHL got some SB tix courtesy of some friends at the NFL and they all had to talk business to justify the expense accounts.
No way that city could or would support basketball and hockey at the same time. If the NHL was in first, like Nashville, Columbus etc, maybe, but not two winter sports.
Relatively speaking to other US cities mentioned for teams like Houston, Atlanta, Phoenix, and then other secondary ones (Kansas City, San Diego, San Antonio, Portland) New Orleans is not a decent TV market, to start.

I think the NHL's long term goal is 36 teams.
They have 32 now.
New Orleans, Atlanta, Quebec City, Houston, Arizona, Kansas City being the potential expansion options I think.
But I do think we see 4 more teams before 2035.

16 have been making the playoffs for some time, notwithstanding the league has grown from 21 to 32 teams. They have not increased the playoff size while adding 11 teams since 1980.
