With it looking very likely that the Atlanta Thrashers are moving to Winnipeg in their 15,000 seat arena I think this will be good for Halifax's chance of a NHL team sometime in a decade or two.
If Quebec can get their team back and then maybe a 2nd team in the Toronto area (likely Hamilton) Halifax would be the next logical choice. Especially since a Halifax based team could represent 4 provinces in Canada (unless we join a Maritime Union by then.
)
The next metro centre is likely to be about 15,000 seats, so if works in Winnipeg it could work in Halifax once our population has moved past the 500,000 mark and beyond.
