I have always had flexibility. We've made a ton of changes in this league over the year, most of them for the better.
But I also was the commissioner in this league when we had too many teams and I feel like I can offer knowledge from that experience.
Again, I contend contraction helped the league.
I don't believe expansion would.
I'm open to counter arguments but so far nothing stated has addressed my concerns.
Asset disparity is the biggest issue many of these leagues face. My view is this would make it worse. Right now the fact there are more NHL assets than CPHL clubs gives every team some chance to get some piece of the pie. With more teams that pie has more forks eating from it. And I would wager than the asset rich clubs would continue to be (because of their overall approach) and that it would make it harder on asset weak clubs.
Net result - a less healthy league.
