Milwaukee just got a new arena approves so it would not surprise me if the NHL went to milwaukee. It seems like a perfect fit to me.

They do, but for some reason they keep throwing out the idea of putting a 2nd team there. Personally, I'm not too sure how much support it would get. Would Leafs fans really jump ship?

I think it'd be for one of the more suburban area like Hamilton.

I guess. I consider them separate as Everett isn't that close, but I see your point.

According to this article, Seattle seems ahead of Portland, but the arena is an issue.

Yes, thats sad. That arena issue has always been a problem up there. Seems like there is positive movement this time though. Tukwila or Bellevue would be good spots if it cant be in Seattle.
