 What's up everyone? Take down here. Welcome back to the channel. Today I'm going to be talking about five locations I think the NHL will expand into in the near future. Not all of these ones on the list are ones personally I would like to see, but they're all ones that I think could financially support the team and have already said that they want to support the team if given the opportunity. So let's just get straight into it with Seattle. I think Seattle might be the top one that is in the next expansion that gets chosen for a new NHL team. I think they've already submitted the application stating that they want a new team, stating that they could support a new team if given the opportunity. And honestly, I think the NHL, I think they're going to do that. I think that's going to be one of the next expansion teams. But would I be happy with that? Yes, I wouldn't necessarily be a fan of it and really collect a lot of their stuff if they do come out. As you guys know, I collect hockey cards, but I don't know, I think it could be a team that they could botch really they could totally botch a Seattle expansion team. Hopefully they don't if they do decide to have Seattle as an expansion team. I'm just I'm not sold on at 100%. I would like to see it but it's not a team for me if that makes any sense. Next up is Houston, Texas. This is one of the ones I do not agree with. I do not want to see a team in Houston. Texas already has one team. I think that's enough. I think adding another Texas team is overkill personally. I don't think I think the NHL says yes to this. I don't think it's going to get the love and support from fans. I don't think they're going to be making much money from merch from the jerseys from everything else they sell. Honestly, I would not be happy if Houston got the next expansion. But I'm pretty sure Houston has already said if given the opportunity they could support another team. That's why they're on this list because they said they could support another team so I could see it happening financially. I could see them being at least in the writing for the next expansion. I just would not want that to happen. I would not want to want another Texas team. I did not want a team in Houston. That's just me personally. That's my opinion. Next up is Hamilton. This is one I'd be really excited to see if they did have a team moving forward. Hamilton has already said they would like to have a team in the future. But because Toronto is so close, I don't see it necessarily happening. If it did, it'd be a rival for Toronto, I would assume. I think this is one that they could do right if given the opportunity. I think they can support a team and I think it'd do really good. I don't know necessarily with the marketing. I think it might take a while for people, for hockey fans to really gain and be open with the idea of Hamilton being an expansion team. Personally, I see it happening and they've already said they can financially support a team. That would be interesting. I would like to really see. Next up is Quebec City. If you guys remember the last expansion when it was down to Quebec City and Vegas. Vegas, of course, won it and they're honestly killing it. Honestly, I would have liked to see Quebec City. That was my prediction of what was going to happen before. I really wanted Quebec City because as you guys might know, Montreal Canadian fans are extreme. Sometimes at their arenas, they are pretty violent to the people that are supporting the other team. I felt that going to Ottawa Senators' Games in Ottawa, the Montreal fans are pretty extreme at times and it is honestly hilarious, but it is a little bit intimidating. It is a little bit uncalled for at times, but it is hilarious. Honestly, I would love to see Quebec City have another team to have Quebecers versus Quebecers. It would be interesting to see if they would start hating each other or to see if they would accept another team and they would just cheer for both teams. I think that would be cool to see what happens, but I really wanted to see that happen. I wanted to see it happen before. I'm happy Vegas got in because they are killing it. It's like a tourist attraction. They're killing it with the sales they're making and everything like that. It was a great idea for Vegas, but please go back to Quebec City. Let's get in and really hope they get down to the next one. The last one is another location I would not like to see. Of course, it is a Canadian team, but this is one I do not want to see. They have, however, said they could support a second team if given the opportunity and that is Toronto. Honestly, I would not want to see it. I know a lot of people are probably disagreeing with me that this is even said, but it has been said before that they, if given the opportunity, could support a second team. I just don't see it working out. I don't see it lasting long. I'm not a fan of Maple Leafs, but I think since the Maple Leafs are original six, their fan base is pretty strong. Even from where I am near Ottawa, Toronto Maple Leafs fan base is pretty strong. Fans are pretty loyal. I don't see them switching or adding another team just because it's another Toronto team to their fan, to one of their favorites. I don't see it working out. And if they do get another team, because I think they can support another team, and they've already said they can financially support another team, that's out of the question. But I would not want to see that. I don't think too many fans would. I don't think it would work out too good, in my opinion. Not that it's a small city or anything, but there is a lot of loyal fans in Toronto and for Toronto. I would not like to see this, but is something that could potentially happen because they've already said they can support a team. And that, whenever I meet HL, is trying to decide where they're going to go next for an expansion team. It's about the money and more than anything, in my opinion. It is also about the fans. Are they going to have fans when it's all said and done? Are they not? I don't see Toronto doing that, but I see they could be a potential expansion draft or expansion team in the future. So comment down below what you think. Do you think any of these five teams could be in the next expansion? I think so. That's just my opinion right now. Hopefully, we'll see at least one team added in the next expansion. I think they're going to be sticking to even numbers. So I'm talking, the next one will be if they add one, it'll be 32 teams, or if they add three, it's going to be 34 teams. I think I read somewhere that they're interested in having three new teams in the NHL. But if they do that, I think they would have to relocate one or two teams that are already existing in the NHL. But that's for another video. I'll leave this video here. Hope you guys did enjoy it. If you did, please leave a thumbs up and I'll see you guys in the next video. Please take care. Comment down below what you guys think, where you think the NHL will expand into next. And I will see you guys in the next video. Please take care. Peace.
