There is no reason to think or expect that the NHL would move to a longer schedule. The Eastern Conference is already formulated aroung 16 teams/2x8 team divisions. Expansion would even it out in the West.

How is the business case for the NHL with Crosby, Ovechkin, and Kane out with injuries heading into the playoffs.
Why stop there? What's the business case with Crosby, Ovechkin, Kane, Iginla, Price, Subban, Kessel, Getzlaf, Thornton, Tavares, Stamkos, Perry, Quick, Sedin, Sedin, Hall, Toews, Seguin, Alfredsson, Spezza, Skinner, Callahan, Brodeur, Carter and Weber all being out with injuries heading into the playoffs?
