I know it's a bit early (XFL 1.0 was experiencing similar early success over 20 years ago, hopefully it won't suffer the same fate), but with the early success of the PWHL in the current markets, could that profitability be pushed even further by putting teams in non-NHL (or AHL) markets?
Obviously they would want to put teams in larger cities like Chicago, LA, Calgary and Vancouver. But would they include empty markets like Milwaukie, Quebec City, Regina and Houston/Austin?
The MLS did something similar by putting expansion teams in generally underserved markets like Portland, SLC, Vancouver and Montreal and were the first pro league in Columbus and Austin.
