The league probably didn’t want any more teams in this area given the close proximity of Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Buffalo.
Careful. You are accusing the NHL of thinking strategically. A raccoon is better at long-term planning. The real answer is simpler. The Barons were drawing as few as 250 per game.

I was referring to the Crusaders merging into the NHL. They drew well as they always seemed competitive.
Didn’t Gordie Howe also play with at least one of his son’s in Houston?

The Barons used to be the California Golden Seals and moved to Cleveland because the Crusaders had drawn well. The problem is the Barons stunk and the fans stayed home.
