Bettman definitely wants the Coyotes in Phoenix area. He threatened to move them somewhere else in Phoenix/Glendale last year. I don't see them leaving. How well would Houston support a NHL team?

They used to have an IHL team called the Aeros which did pretty well for a little bit, but I think attendance slouched after awhile even though they were winning.

Fertitta said the attendance was about 3-4k before they left the Compaq center (now Joel Osteen church), and he'd want to be pretty certain the stadium would be full much of the time.

I tend to believe an NHL team would fare better than the Aeros did as an IHL team. I know my family would go when I was younger and I don't follow the NHL in any way.
