TSN Hockey Analyst Eyes Salt Lake City for NHL Expansion or Relocation

As a hockey writer at TSN, Button possesses a basic understanding of potential NHL expansion and relocation destinations. Coincidentally, his experiences have aligned with NHL developments from observing the struggles of the Arizona Coyotes in Phoenix to the successful launch of the Las Vegas franchise. Now situated in Salt Lake City, he perceives potential for an NHL team there especially considering the probable relocation of the Coyotes.

He outlines four primary reasons: Firstly, Salt Lake City market extends beyond its population size positioning it favorably among major hockey markets. Secondly, the region’s economic growth suggests promising NHL gate revenues. Thirdly, with minimal competition in the city, the existing arena serves as a starting point for a hockey team, despite its shortcomings.

Lastly, although Salt Lake City may not rival Vegas in tourism its appeal as a winter sports destination could draw fans. While challenges like building hockey infrastructure persist, he asserts that Salt Lake City logically stands as a viable option for NHL expansion or relocation.
