It's not a conspiracy theory that the NHL is trying to maximize their revenues. And they absolutely should do that - the NHL owes that to the owners, in partnership with the players.
That's why CHI, NYR and MTL are invited, and BUFF is not. The Sabres had a similar record to the Habs with two games in hand (and more ROW), and they were scheduled to play their next game with each other.
I'm actually ok with it being about the $. It should be. The fairness or legacy of this tournament is a separate topic.
