The GTA should have another team anyway, but the ramifications of adding that team are pretty complex.

I have often wondered how the NHLPA can pressure the NHL in this situation. Do they have any moves in this? Because they certainly have stakes.
The talk after the lockout was the league and players are now partners. The league also said that if the players agreed to a cap based on revenue, that the league and players would work together to find ways to keep increasing revenue. By stonewalling another potential GTA team, it seems to disregard the spirit in which the NHLP agreed to a cap.
