Florida - Never really wanted a team
Atlanta - Terrible sports town without the added distraction of hockey.
Columbus - Why God, why?
Those are the teams I start with for contraction.
Expansion is good in some ways. Nashville is quickly becoming a big sports town. Does anyone honestly think Minnesota should not have a team? Just when places that have no need-reason for a team get one is when things get screwed up.
