I keep wondering if they should fold 2 teams, and move two teams and get a healthy 14 14 conference structure and go from there.
Fold Phoenix and Columbus
Move Tampa and Florida to Quebec and Markam

Wouldn't the extra teams also increase the amount of players in the NHL, thus more to split the players share among (not affecting the cap floor or ceiling)? Or will the expansion fees count as HRR?
Or are you suggesting the 2 new teams will be in such great markets that they will post revenues beyond the current average.
