With the way the salary cap keeps going up they can crunch the numbers to make a business case that the NHL is doing well and can afford to support two more teams.

I agree with most of what you said, however just let me make my case.
2 more teams, they will probably move to 84 games, keep the Olympics, and stagger them with the World Cup.
How much hockey can these guys play?
How is the business case for the NHL with Crosby, Ovechkin, and Kane out with injuries heading into the playoffs.
There is too much hockey. For the players and fans.
