Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk floated the notion of relocating his franchise, saying Friday that the team "could look good somewhere else" if its market conditions don't improve.

Melnyk spoke to reporters on the eve of the NHL 100 Classic, an outdoor game in Ottawa, Ontario, between the Montreal Canadiens and the Senators to commemorate the NHL's centennial.

His remarks came at a time when cities such as Seattle, Houston and Quebec City are all seeking NHL teams.

Moving to Quebec City draws the least backlash since the team stays in Canada. If they rebrand as Nordiques 2.0 they will sell out that new arena and generate major interest reviving their inter-provincial rivalry with the Habs. Anaheim Ducks should relocate to Houston. Seattle looks like it will get an expansion franchise like Vegas.

Lol everyone in LA is a Kings fan they have a better jersey, branding and history. Ducks have awful tv ratings even when they are winning. And I don't think their games sellout much. If they become the Houston Ducks they would sell out Toyota Center and start an interstate rivalry with the Dallas Stars. Ducks lease ends in 4 years after this season I read not sure if there is an opt out clause or exit fee but if they move to Houston they will be profitable. Ducks are bleeding money unlike the Kings.

Yeah, but I like the freeway face off rivalry instead.
