Tavares' injury in the Olympics, plus Paul George's ugly broken leg in a national team basketball match is also going to be things that weigh heavily on the NHL's mind.

Can you post an article about the financial impact (or lack of), genuine interest.
Perhaps you are correct. If so then that is a sad thing IMO.
I wonder if the NHL is looking at Europe as a viable expansion.
