I have a feeling there will only be 2 teams added, to balance out things at 32 teams (with either 4 divsions of 8 teams, or 8 divisions of 4 teams like the NFL.) If the NHL asked me, I would add Vegas and Winnipeg, and leave Kansas City open for a team to relocate to if one begins to falter (I honestly think the KC folks won't have the patience to wait for a building process...) If Winnipeg and Vegas join the NHL, then Columbus would move into the Eastern Conference (where they probably belong).

BTW, the attendance was around 7000. Las Vegas is ready for a NHL franchise!!

Interesting omissions from top ten were the ny and boston markets, perhaps their baseball teams were on tv at the same time. Those fans missed a classic. Also interesting to note that vegas came in at #10, maybe vegas is bonafide hockey market afterall. congrads to dc hockey fans and thats another great sign for next year.

Ratings don't include hotels so those were local residents pulling that seven share. Can there be that many ex-pats from the Motor and Steel Cities living there?
