Thanks Captain Obvious!

Few problems for your theory though.

1. It isn't 1990 anymore. The NHL has moved on from that thinking. Atlanta says hello.
2. The league has its billion dollar contract, long term
3. We all know that South Florida and Phoenix drive pretty much zero eyeballs to hockey telecasts.
