2 more teams that will possibly fire their coach. 2 more fanbases that will be disgruntled that their team didn't make the playoffs, 2 more empty buildings, etc...
Is this about revenue or profit? Because you will add revenue to the NHL with 2 more teams, but overall league wide profit will come down.
The NHL should invest in buying out 2 teams, and going back to 28. Reduce the number of games to 76-80, and end the season by the end of May.
This is getting ridiculous. 32 teams.  |
I don't disagree with you one bit. However if they think they can increase revenue then they'll do it. They probably don't see the profit coming down like you do. I'm not going to try to even guess what this will do to the league economics apart from more revenue.
