Been told by a friend who works with Preds, that Houston is one of favs to get a team. They have gone from possible to top8, to one of favs. They love what the Owner and City would bring, and have always been happy with Aeros and their fans. Atlanta continues to move up, but NHL wants to make sure Arena is in best place possible, and best access to fans. NHL believes arena placement is why the flames and thrashers failed.
Take it with a grain of salt, but he's usually good on NHL shite, when he texts me stuff.

Well good news is the arena is in the area with high disposable income and the best population to support a hockey team.

Arena placement has ZERO to do with why the Thrashers left. The ownership group Atlanta Spirit that bought Philips Arena and the Hawks were forced to take the Thrashers in the deal. They never wanted them and treated them like the proverbial red headed stepchild. I will also say the Dany Heatley car wreck that killed Dan Snyder also played a large part in the Thrashers demise.
