IMO Saskatoon and the province of Saskatchewan as a whole might be a bit too small a market for NHL hockey, I'd love to see more Canadian teams but they have to be put in the right markets.

Nor do I. Though I remember learning that the Blues almost got moved there in the early 80s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_Blues#Purina_era_.281977.E2.80.9383.29). If the market is smaller than that of Winnipeg (that I'm not sure of), I think it won't work long term. Quebec should be the next one for Canada.
