Problem? Why does it have to be a problem? Why not just a refresh to help alleviate some of the humdrum of < 1/3 of the leagues GMs dealing at any given time. My thoughts would be that this would bring movement, trades, new ideas by new GMs, a general rise in excitement and a desire to bring at least 2 of the 4 teams missing from the NHL back into the fold.
Shouldn't the question be, why not? It doesn't cost a thing outside of effort. Dilution did not seem to be an issue in the NHL when Vegas or Seattle joined the league.
