This was also confirmed by another NHL insider source.
These are the two biggest markets in the US with no team. Based on the earlier rumour about Austin, Houston, and Toronto2, it looks like Atlanta is that fourth piece in the run up to 36 teams. Definitely stings about Quebec City, but the reality is that our dollar sucks and our cities are generally not as rich or as lucrative for media contracts as US cities.
