I think the NHL should get rid of the red line and open up the game.

Also the present OT works well.

And contraction? Oh yeah. Ottawa never should have gotten a team, and Buffalo should be canceled at the very least.

But these are hotbeds of hockey! Where lots of people actually care about the game, and there are strong minor league systems...

I understand the financial reasoning behind getting rid of those teams, but still... I hope there's a way to keep them alive.

And yeah, it was probably a mistake to expand into Ottawa so recently... And I guess the fans deserve to lose the team, if they can't consistently sell out games when they're at the top of the league...

But still! It just doesn't sit right.

When they can't financially keep up, then it is time to drop them. When a team goes bankrupt (or close to it), it is hard to keep that franchise going.

I'd hate to see Canada lose any more teams.

Actually, considering New York supports three teams, and even Los Angeles supports two, I see no reason why Toronto couldn't be a viable two-franchise town.
