Every NHL team below the Mason-Dixon line.
...yes, maybe Southern fans will say their team is popular, and they do well for their team.
Doesn't matter. No American city deserves an NHL team more than a Canadian city would.

No American city deserves an NHL team more than a Canadian city would. Okay as much as I'm a Canadian National when it comes to hockey, I think that's a bit of a bullshit statement. Like hell Buffalo is more of a Canadian city than Vancouver or Quebec City. Hell some American Sun Belt cities are better than some American cities that actually snow. Anyways to the topic I would like to see the Dallas Cowboys move to Edmonton into Commonwealth Stadium motherf***er. Hey when it was built it was the original biggest jumbo tron of its time But in seriousness I want the Montreal Expos back and I think Montreal should get a NBA team. I think a MLB team in Vancouver would also work

I'd send the Tennessee Titans to Edmonton and rename them to their original name when they were in Houston: the Oilers.
Either it means the fine people of Edmonton will have an Oilers team to be happy about or confuse outsiders when they groan about either.

Yeah we all know Edmonton is going to win the draft lottery again this year.

In that hypothetical situation, I would hope they would work something out like they did between Charlotte and New Orleans in the NBA. The Houston Oilers is a sacred team to me,and if some other team got that name in the NFL, that would piss me off to the highest level of pisstivity.

None. I don't care where teams go, I hate seeing them relocate.
Yeah, it sucks when you see half-full buildings, but you'd still be taking teams away from the people who go to games and support their teams.
Also, let's take the Canadian dollar into account. It's at $0.77 US right now, which isn't exactly robust. The chances of any relocating happening any time soon are pretty poor.
As for the Expos returning eventually, it'd have to be through expansion and not relocation. Everybody talks about the Rays as a relocation candidate, but they have a terrific TV deal and will likely be getting a stadium deal done sooner than later.
That's to say nothing about the stadium that Montreal would need and it would likely require government money from municipal, provincial and federal levels. That's very unlikely in coming in the foreseeable future.

I remember watching the opening of a broadcast of a game featuring the team that would become the Stallions (and eventually the new Montreal Alouettes) on YouTube in which one of the commentators said that due to pending legal action they would not refer to the Baltimore team as "a bunch of rambunctious young horses".

Buffalo Bills
Could be rebranded as the Niagara Falls Cascades or something along those lines
New merchandise could be produced, the fan base is already nearby, and I hate the name "Buffalo"

Sorry to all my friends in upper NY.

Montreal Expos please.
(Makes the most sense to ship Miami or Tampa there.)

The Marlins are the team Jeffrey Loria purchased after his attempt to murder baseball in Montreal in the first place (and did the same to baseball in Miami.) Do you REALLY want to put that evil on the people of Montreal AGAIN?
