Do you think that the league should contract some teams? Which ones? I would say Carolina, Columbus, Phoenix, Ottawa and Nashville. Maybe a few others.

No, don't contract Carolina. Move it back to Hartford. The NHL needs to stem the tide of exodosing fans with relocations to native markets.
And it's a sin that Dany Heatly isn't playing in someplace cold. (Or better yet, playing for the prison team.)

Florida would have to be one of those -- since it is probably in the worst financial shape of any U.S. team. And I would replace Columbus with Atlanta. Columbus, in fact, might be a model city for a slimmed-down NHL that is effectively a second-tier major sport in North America -- because it has a strong fan base (at this point, at least) and doesn't have to compete with either NBA or MLB teams.
