The Canadian market is tapped out for NHL expansion only if you exclude Quebec City, Hamilton, and York Region. We're saturated at ~10 teams. US markets may have larger populations but that doesn't make them more enticing to the NHL.
Competition for the entertainment dollar, corporate base, cultural interest, and a number of other things factor in.
