OK but we differ from the NHL in all sorts of ways.
It would also be easy to swap two teams and change them to those two.
I feel like the reasons I've articulated as to why not to do this are largely being dismissed without a lot of thought.
We expanded before
It hurt the league and created several teams that had no assets
As a result we contracted those 2 teams and 2 more to get back to a league that had a smaller number of teams, including so more assets could be available to less teams.
So it failed the first time. Why do we think it will be different this time?
If we are going to explore this I would want whoever is doing that to help address those issues, and not just dismiss them.
