In order to survive the NHL is going to have to admit that it is a regional niche sport. They need to to go to a 12 team league: EAST- Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, WEST - Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. Divvy up the best players amongst 12 teams and you have a hell of a quality league.

San Jose also fills their venue. Why not let the owners decide?

I remember when the NHL was 12 teams. Hockey wasn't better. I'd guess the players and owners don't want to go back to then because it was very regional and low profit. The lack of money would drive the best players to Europe.

I’ve always said that in order for a city to qualify for an NHL franchise, they must have an annual average of snowfall..and ice fishing on their nearby lakes.
