Not gonna happen. CT is too small, and the NY Metro area has Rangers, Devils, Islanders, while the Boston side has Bruins.
Also, the rights to the Whalers name and the franchise rights are with Carolina. They moved the team from Hartford and rebranded. Carolina even wears the Whalers gear at special throwback games, and they sell the merch to this day.

Why you mad they have played longer in NC as a franchise than ever in CT?

Can’t blame them for the move. Average attendance at Hurricanes games is around 15K people over the past 3 years or so, which seems to be the average for an NHL team (hurriedly checked by picking random NHL teams and Google). Raleigh is also built up better than Hartford to actually get fans to the games as well.
