The question arises because Houston’s name is often linked to the next possible expansion of the Bettman circuit.
The Rockets owner feels that Houston deserves to have a team because, in his opinion, we’re talking about one of the best cities in the United States.
That’s what I gather from the following video, at least:

What I’m trying to say here… is that the people in Houston love sports.
They’re able to get to the stadium or arena to cheer on their club (whether it’s football or basketball) and that’s important for the NHL’s image.
The NHL makes less money if the arenas are empty, after all… #CoyotesEnArizona
It’s expensive (very expensive) to host a National League team.
In recent months, Darren Dreger was talking about an amount (of the expansion fees that the owners are splitting between themselves) that could be as high as $2 billion…
That’s another good question…
