If I had my way, the NHL would be a 24 team league (and they would play a 64 game season, but that's another topic).
But hey, expansion would mean more money in the owners' pockets, more members in the players' union, and if it led to a big TV deal, higher salaries for NHL players. What fan can't get on-board with that?

Hockey is the best sport in the world and the more fans get to watch and hopefully subsequently play, the better. If I only get to see such and such superstar once/year instead of twice/year then so be it.
