The NHL has the best. This is known. So if you want to watch the best, you watch the NHL. That’s why so many kids are falling in love with the Oilers (shudder)- because of McDavid. People love to see what “the best” can do.
Notwithstanding the above, I agree with you that you can definitely get enjoyment by following minor league teams, and often the entertainment value is equal or better sometimes. Fully agree.

This is exactly it. It has nothing to do with external validation with respect to why I choose to support and follow certain leagues.
If one gets enjoyment watching minor or local league teams, good on them, thats cool. Everyone has different reasons for supporting whatever they choose to put their dollars to. It would be a shame for the Flames to leave Calgary. (I don’t believe they will, as a new rink will eventually be settled on).
