some of these other peoples answers are wierd...but the fact is..... these are the teams that will most likely move and probably sooner than 20 years
pittsburgh - lease is coming up and no buyers in pitttsburgh
florida - have always struggled and rumor is they may go when pittsburgh goes
atlanta - seriously what were they thinking bringing a team back?
that may move but have a chance to stay put:
phoenix - losing too many games and may lose fan base, but they have financial support
columbus - fairly new, may take a while to boot them out, but are struggling
tampa bay - well its in florida, but they have never had a high salary team so they can survive
carolina - not entirely threatened yet, but it is concerning that they made a run for the cup and couldn't even fill the arena with their own fans until the finals
anaheim - rumor of a new owner, may cost this team, they used to have a share in every team when disney owned them, but now the owner has to survive on his own
new york islanders - may have same fate as pittsburgh, but not as soon
and what are some thes people thinking:
San Jose/Los Angeles - these have strong markets , i mean LA is LA, and San Jose has young talent like Joe Thronton and Johnathan Ceechoo, their oldest is a 31 year old goalie
Chicago - it would be a crime for an original six to go, all of chicago should commit suicide if that happens
Edmonton - has so many investors in the team, including the leafs, and every major petroleum company in canada that all these business would have to be in debt to lose this team

I'd go with the NY Islanders, Pittsburgh, Florida, Columbus, St. Louis, Phoenix, Anaheim, Edmonton, and/or Chicago.

I think Anaheim, San Jose, Pittsburgh, Florida, Tampa, and the New York Islanders are the likeliest teams to move

The small market teams. You pretty much named them all. You just missed Atlanta and Nashville. I don't think Carolina and Anaheim are going to be moved. Hopefully one team can be relocated to Winnipeg. That'll give Canada 7 teams.

Pittsburgh will move first. I think the Islanders can be added to your list especially if they do not get a new arena.
