NHL insider Kevin Weekes has listed several cities lined up for potential expansion into the NHL.
According to Weekes, among the teams, Atlanta seems to be a front-runner of the groups that do not have an arena yet. Forsyth County, Georgia, is precisely where the team would take place. The city has gotten approval to begin a development project for a stadium.
Forsyth County is planning on having a new billion-dollar arena. An article written by Fox 5 says,
"The Gathering at South Forsyth " features restaurants, stores, a business hotel, and residential units. A 750,000-square-foot arena would anchor the venue."
This potential arena could lead to an NHL expansion shortly for Atlanta.
