THERE'S NO END TO THE POSSIBILITIES!!!

Since there's really nothing happening in the world of hockey I decided a post of some kind was needed.  So I thought of what city might make a good locale for an expansion team.  Here's a list of cities I feel deserve a hockey team.

Seattle- This in my opinion more than any other city needs one.  It would be a great hockey market with the Canucks just a hop, skip, and jump north.  The teams there now are a joke.  The Mariners and Seahawks are without a championship in either of their sports.  They have a soccer team but the MLS is about as exciting as the WNBA.
Team name- Seattle Generals

Quebec City- They have been dying for a team.  The supporters of the Nordiques have made their presence felt by showing up to other teams games and selling out full sections.  They did this to the Rock in 2011.  Luckily they also cheer for that arena's home team during the game.  Kinda weird to think that people donning blue jerseys were cheering for the Devils at the Prudential Center.
Team name- Quebec Nordiques

Las Vegas- Hell, we have one team in the desert.  Why not another?  They would even have a star player playing for them.  The moment Jaromir Jagr realizes Vegas has a team he would demand a trade that day.
Team name- Las Vegas Jackpot

Kansas City- This city would work because they already have the arena.  Yes it's old.  Yes it's known to be haunted by Owen Hart.  But they at least have an arena.  The Islanders can't even say that.  Just don't make the mistake of calling your team the Scouts.  2 years with that ridiculous logo and color scheme are enough.  And besides, who wants to associate yourself with a team who won 27 games in their history?  I sure as hell don't.
Team name- Kansas City Cougars

Wild Card-
Anchorage- I think it's time.  Alaska needs a sports team.  No sport would do well in Alaska other than ice hockey.  Scott Gomez and Brandon Dubinsky would beg to be traded to these teams.  The GM of Anchorage would look at Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin and laugh for even the thought that Anchorage would want Gomer.  Dubi would be hailed as a hometown hero, scoring 40 goals in his first year then magically get reduced to 3 the following.
