Originally posted by AKSWF View PostIs there really that much of a demand in South Korea? The Islanders are getting kicked out of "their" arena, the Coyotoes, another southern experiment in Vegas, and various teams with attendance declining. In many ways, more than just #of games played, the NBA and the NHL are similar, and the NBA is gonna start allowing sponsors on there jerseys. How about stabilizing the turbulent teams and expand into Canada instead.

Originally posted by alslammerz View PostIt's a nice idea but would any team have enough Americans on it to field an entire roster for the Olympics?
My fear of it being college players is that we see guys get nationalized and take the year off from school. But essentially a WJC team with some older players and maybe the occasional AHL/European player would be somewhat fun to watch, even if I'd rather see the NHL go for growing the sport reasons.
