The NHL May be Placing Another Team in Atlanta?
As discussions about the Coyotes' future continue, potential relocation options include Houston, Salt Lake City, and Kansas City. However, Atlanta has emerged as a new possibility.
NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reveals that the league is seriously considering Alpharetta, a suburb of Atlanta, as a potential new home for the Coyotes. The condition for this relocation is the construction of a suitable arena in Alpharetta.
Elliotte on NHL expansion or relocation:
There's a lot of momentum for Atlanta. The word here is if that rink can be built in Alpharetta. That is very real.

While this move wouldn't bring back the Atlanta Thrashers, it would bring NHL hockey back to Georgia, a state that previously had unsuccessful experiences with the Flames and the Thrashers. The NHL sees potential in Atlanta and its market.
Critics argue that instead of choosing Alpharetta, the league should prioritize building a stadium within Atlanta itself. This approach would better engage the diverse population of the city and align with the NHL's goal of expanding the game.
