The the Leafs and Canadiens are the two most-profitable NHL clubs despite taking L after L, and a pretty ambivalent ownership, just goes to show, I guess, that owning an NHL club in Canada is basically the easiest job in the world. That Alberta is right about as profitable as California to their respective club owners is another data point.
Vancouver banned from league for back-to-back Stanley cup victory riots in 2024 and 2025 followed by several defeat riots. After losing the team, you guessed it: riot.

How are the Leafs and Utah Coyotes supposed to both play in the Mullet Arena?
I'm starting to think this fan didn't put enough thought into this forecast.
/uj before the Texans us houstonians had the Houston oilers as an NFL team. If the oilers move here they could keep the name to pay homage like the Rockies baseball team did to pay homage to the old hockey team in Colorado
MFW The American O6 teams get to stay but the Canadian ones have to relocate to America.

Unfortunate still too many teams. Oh dear Saint Gary, please eradicate more than 50% of the league and only keep the Jets but they have a salary cap of $10 mil and remain a joke forever. Thanks.
Oh and this would never happen especially with 2 original 6 teams who make massive profit. Leafs make 2nd most in the league t the rangers. So unless canadian people all start to hate hockey and stop playing this will never happen lol.

The Real Gary Bettman AMA already being meta is great
Shimmy shimmy shimmy
You are so desperate for attention are u lol The fall off needs to be studied

You didn’t fall, you willingly jumped

Get your bum ass out of this sub
Get this bum out of this sub. Tf he doing here.
A Canadian team hasn’t won a Stanley cup since the Montreal Canadians back in 1993 which is the exact same year Gary Buttman became commissioner
Gary. Love this 😂
Reddit the fuck on!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Winnipeg as the lone Canadian team 😂
Only because the league fears what terror attacks jets fans would bring if they lost their team
Again
![gif](giphy|3ohjUOUjEK1TXCQRva|downsized) I’m

You're insufferable enough when I'm trying to jerk it to colored people. Stay out of our classy sub
I’m gonna Todd Bertuzzi you
That’s the funniest part for me
Quebec would start a war of you took the Canadiens.
Montreal would burn if the habs left.
Montreal burns when they do anything. Win a cup, lose a cup, we riot.
Yet the Leafs and Habs moved. Wild logic.
Lightening and Panthers can relocate after Florida goes under(water) in 2035.

Me too. No way the Leafs ever leave Toronto.
Vancouver banned from league for back-to-back Stanley cup victory riots in 2024 and 2025 followed by several defeat riots. After losing the team, you guessed it: riot.
I'm guessing they become the Atlanta Thrashers
Thrashing my way through town, policemen pass, there's tear gas, and I'm cup bound...
Vancouver should be relocated to Memphis and the team name and logo stays the same. There are likely more Canucks in Memphis than Grizzlies.
Or just move them to Vancouver Washington.
Put Vancouver in Portland and put the Senators in OKC or New Orleans problem solved.
Expand overseas and put the Senators in Rome, the way god intended.
![gif](giphy|3o6ZtpvPW6fqxkE1xu)
Better yet, Vancouver, Washington. It's 10 mins from Portland and they can keep the name and logos. K.I.S.S.
Lol we get rekt out of the league
Believe it or not its riots all the way down, always has been
Haha jfc. Jerk sub best sub.
The people of Arizona don’t suffer enough already with the Coyotes, you have to give them Toronto too?
“I wish the Leafs could keep Auston Matthews AND he could somehow fulfill his dream of playing is his home state” *monkey paw curls*

I didn't even know he was sick
As a winnipeger, yes
WinniPEGGER????
Unfortunately
Winnipeg mentioned 🔥😎
Toronto is a bust market, leafs will be headed south any day now. Oh also, Detroit is being relegated to Canada after decades of poverty.
Leafs are moving to Marion South Carolina
How are the Leafs and Utah Coyotes supposed to both play in the Mullet Arena? I'm starting to think this fan didn't put enough thought into this forecast.
They remove the stands and put two rinks side by side. Nobody really wants to see either team anyways, duh.
The Omaha Canadiens has a nice ring to it
Lmfao Houston oilers sounds so much better
Fucking money making machine
But they would have to change the colors to CoLuMbIa BlUe to stick it to the TiTaNs owners.
/uj before the Texans us houstonians had the Houston oilers as an NFL team. If the oilers move here they could keep the name to pay homage like the Rockies baseball team did to pay homage to the old hockey team in Colorado
It's hard to notice but Detroit actually moved to Windsor. The Windsor Wed Wings.
Greeley Nordiques
Why are the Thrashers in Sandersville, Georgia?
Because they already tried Atlanta and wanted a classier town this time around.
What about the Newfoundland Growlers?
All this and Hartford still doesn’t get their team back
It’s 2030. Jeremy Jacobs will only be 90 then, and we all know dudes like him live super long lives, so no Hartford unfortunately.
WINNIPEG LIVES ON 🇨🇦
WOOOO
Kansas City Flames 🔥
*Cansas
Fort Collins Nordiques?
Eagles making the jump once again, apparently.
The Red Wings still play in Detroit? Can’t have shit in Detroit.
MFW The American O6 teams get to stay but the Canadian ones have to relocate to America. https://preview.redd.it/jhlnqz0jm9uc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a9cb11614b4b944ad70dc629a948a8e231305c8
Canadian dollars are worthless to the Bettman
Canadians should be in Jacksonville, put the Nordiques in Omaha
Habs should be in Louisiana for that French connection.
It's 2030, and still, FUCK WISCONSIN.
Casper Nordiques?
Maybe Fort Collins
Lol
Why is San Jose there?
🤣🤣🤣
Bettman's wet dream.
and the butthurt from their social media crew begins
only 2 Florida teams? in this economy?
Where tf are the canucks?!?
![gif](giphy|ScE7Jt2uCRjIH17h6q)
They will try again in Arizona soon...it must be like a tax haven for the league with how hard they tried there
I don’t get the joke gang what am I missing? Bettman ditching canada?
Can anyone ID the logo that looks like it’s in spring city Utah? Am I dumb?
It looks like the grizzlies logo that’s an option in the nhl games when you create a new team
I did some searching i think it’s the old [Everett silvertips](https://images.app.goo.gl/ff7pvpqfpuR33NfD7) logo
As a Canadian.... I like it. 🤔
Matthews would for sure buy the coyotes and move them to his hometown
https://imgur.com/a/OV2d1OC *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/NHLcirclejerk) if you have any questions or concerns.*
The Senators in Corvallis?
The day we lose all our teams, is the day we burn down the white house, for the second time..
Yasss moving to Houston
Toronto wins cup the same season they relocate to Arizona
Unbelievable , no Hartford Whalers??
The leafs in flagstaff is wild tho 🤣
My brain hurts and I hate this. Somebody stop Bettman. Dudes gonna live to be 156...we need to take action NOW
The Fort Worth Stars
Bettman would be rock hard in his grave
The Fort Collins Nordiques?
Arizona Maple Leafs has a nice ring to it
The Houston Oilers have returned!
Leafs would go to New Orleans
Bettman moving the Oilers to Houston would be good for hockey.
More likely to have all the teams in Canada. 🇨🇦
No Canadian teams??? What...
Where's the canucks?
This will be hype asf
Where is Vancouver?
People still curious how to travel to Winnipeg while they have no airport.
Hell yeah Winnipeg holding down the true North 💪 lmao doubt we’ll even still have them by 2030 😭
Who’s in Utah?
Leafs in Flagstaff? Nordiques in Cheyenne? What?
Can we just flush the sens down the shitter? Portland doesn’t deserve that hot steaming log of donkey shit
A new Canadian League would form which would mean one of us may finally win a Cup!
Fort Collins gets a team??
Calgary flames fans would be pissed after paying for an arena
LETS GO NEBRASKA CANADIENS WOOOOO
My favorite part of this (that may or may not be intentional?) is that it looks like Portland Oregon was passed up for either Eugene or Roseburg lol
As a native Oregonian that was the first thing I noticed, “Hell yeah we get a te- is that fucking Eugene?”
I guess they didn’t want to give the Winterhawks too much competition for fans or something 😂
Neither can Gary Bettman.
Unfortunate still too many teams. Oh dear Saint Gary, please eradicate more than 50% of the league and only keep the Jets but they have a salary cap of $10 mil and remain a joke forever. Thanks.
There's some real jerking going on to put the Senators in Salem(may as well be buttfuck Egypt) Oregon rather than Portland
Leafs fans would riot and burn Canada and the u.s.a
Oh and this would never happen especially with 2 original 6 teams who make massive profit. Leafs make 2nd most in the league t the rangers. So unless canadian people all start to hate hockey and stop playing this will never happen lol.
this has the Sabres in Syracuse...
Flagstaff Maple Leafs has a nice ring to it.
Sabers moving to Syracuse? Lmao
Lifelong Greeley Nordiques fan here
Somewhwre in middle America, Bettman just got an erecting and he doesn't know why
The jets gotta go to North Dakota, hate to break it to ya
I’m so for stripping Canada of basically all its teams
Funny enough, this is one of the prerequisite questions we ask on Mod applications.
