Ofcourse there are more rinks that was the whole idea. But they didn't put an expansion team there because they knew Dallas would not support a team that struggled while being built so they stole a young, talented team with good prospects who had just been to the Stanley Cup finals a few seasons earlier. The would not have all those rinks and would not have an NHL team there had they put a regular expansion team in Dallas, the franchise would have folded. They knew they could just stick an expansion team back into Minnesota at a later date because they knew Minnesota fans would support a struggling team while it was built again. They have to cater to certain areas to have a chance at being successful like changing the expansion rules, same thing. While other fans they know will root because they love the sport, like in Minnesota, they wipe their dirty boots on those places.

Dallas finished with 97 points in their first season. A fantastic season that no expansion team would have come near.
By their fourth season they were a dominant powerhouse. The game has grown in America which has been his/their only concern. As a fan the game was better in the 70's and 80's entertainment wise, and more importantly it was pire. I was not watching WWE on ice which is what it has trended as ever since he got the job. Anyway this was me reminiscing about the North Stars.

Hockey fact...The Minnesota North Stars were the team that ended the Cip run of the late 70's Montreal Canadiens dynasty. The North Stars defeated the Canadiens in thrilling 7 game quarter final series which saw the visiting team win every single game. It stopped the Canadiens quest for a 5th straight cup.
