So why Salt Lake City?
The Utah market has already shown the ability to support a high level sports team, having supported the Utah Jazz for years and Real Salt Lake of the MLS. Probably most appealing though, is the locations, the market remains in the Southwest, an area the NHL craves to claim market share. But most importantly, Ryan Smith, the owner of the Utah Jazz has already expressed interest in purchasing a team.

If the NHL does the make the decision to either locate or expand, Salt Lake City is a real possibility, especially with an NHL quality building already in place.
