Expansion crazy Getting more teams in the NHL Not crazy!!

How can That make sense you say?

the NHL has to devide into two leagues! the AHL maybe? perhaps but the NHL cannot keep getting bigger without creating a second NHL league... and Just liek soccer around the world You can be promoted to the top league or you can be demoted to the lower one! this way it makes it even possible for a small cities like say Whitehorse getting a chance to put a team in the NHL...

24 teams in the NHL and another 16 or more in the NHL(B) where the top team from latter goes up and gets first round pick and the worst team from the NHL says goodbye and goes down to NHL(B) the only way this sport will grow and get more popular!

Hey, that's actually a pretty good idea. I'm not so sure about moving teams up and down every year, but it sounds like a good starting idea.

the only problem with the promotion/demotion idea is the possibility of the original 6 teams-especially the habs- not being able to compete for the Stanley Cup... that would be tragic! :hlogo:

but in cases like that players will play harder because they don't want there team to get demoted.

Thats a great idea, it makes it a game within a game. Except I'd give a 2 year notice or make some points system where if one team goes from first to worst they won't be demoted only put on probation or something.

Great idea though would build the game. Hey if it works for NASCAR and Soccer it could work for the NHL.
