Sports for most markets make money no matter where the team is located. Period.

Hockey in the sunbelt teams doesn't make money. Most of the sunbelt teams are losing money as the fan base isn't there. Nor is there interest in hockey down there.
I don't want to see a return to the original six. I would like to see the original six plus the existing franchises in Canada and several more in the northern US. I'd also like to see expansion into cities in Canada that previously had teams as well several more cities that have never had teams.
In order for me to watch a live NHL game I'd have to travel for several hour to get to the nearest arena.
