The goal of the NHL is to make money. The principal purpose of the Stanley Cup is to give fans the illusion that the teams are competing for something important.
If team owners thought winning the Stanley Cup was their goal, they would never have expanded beyond the Original Six. Every team added reduces their chances of achieving that goal.
