“The decision as to whether or not to move a club doesn’t come out of looking at two markets and saying, ‘This market would be better than that market.’ We try to keep our clubs where they are. And if it is ultimately determined that a club has to move, generally the reason…is because nobody wants to own a team there anymore, nobody wants to fund the losses and (the current owner) can’t find a buyer.”

- NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.
