Re: NHL 2015, Part 3: Stanley Cup and Offseason
The counter is to butt**** the Jackets and Wings and shove them back west.
Screw Quebec. They already have the Yankees of the NHL there in Montreal, let them be happy with that. Maybe they can have the Panthers in a few years.
If the league is serious about expansion, they need to discuss evening out the conferences by adding two teams in the west. If that means admitting Vegas now, and playing with unbalanced divisions while hoping Seattle joins later, then so be it. I don't think Kansas City is knocking on the NHL's door, and with the exception of Portland (where it seems zero ownership interest has been expressed), most other cities of consequence within the Western footprint are either not big enough for the N, or have little to no potential for sustaining decent attendance.
