According to Harris Decima Senior Vice-President Jeff Walker; "Not surprisingly, Canadians believe that a 7th team can be supported in the Southern Ontario market, but there is fairly widespread skepticism that it will happen". "Those who have an opinion on this believe that Gary Bettman does not want another team in Canada at all, let alone Southern Ontario, and that he along with the existing teams in the region are the major roadblocks to moving the Phoenix Coyotes back to Canada".
