If we just eliminated every southern team that there is. Not relocate-just eliminate. Maybe stick some back in QC/Winnipeg/Hartford but bring the total down to like 24 teams. Get rid of the Phoenix's, TB's, Miami's, California teams (heck, they are just an extension of Mexico), Carolina's, Nashville's et al. These are not real hockey towns or real hockey fans and they keep changing the game to try to suit these people. Replace them with indoor soccer or something and maybe they will be happy. We've diluted the league to nothing and for what?? The old mighty dollar??
I remember watching Montreal's farm team in the 70's (Vees) and they would have won the cup in today's NHL.
Sorry but many people with the opportunity to go to the beach or to a game, the beach will prevail. I don't even know if the NHL would do so well in Canada if it was played in the summer to relate it to something. Also, these opinionated fans that have been to a few games but have never played on a lake etc.
