Move them to Milwaukee for 2018/19. New arena opening in downtown Milwaukee. Move Carolina to Québec City, and let Portland and Seattle battle for 32nd team. That creates 4- 8 team Divisions.

That’s a really good idea actually. I wanna keep the Canes in Raleigh though, or move them to Charlotte, so I can see them play the Rangers twice a year.

I’ve always thought it was a travesty that Milwaukee didn’t have a pro hockey team. They support the Admirals better that AZ supports the Coyotes.

I like it

Bettman is the problem. He insisted on making the NHL a national sport rather than a regional one, where it was very successful. His insistence on pulling teams from Quebec, Minnesota, Hartford, Winnepeg and relocating some to warm weather climates and awarding expansion teams to small, unproven markets caused the leagues decline.
Accept your blame, Bettman. You can’t stick a team in AZ and blame them for not drawing.
As far as I’m concerned (with very few exceptions): If you don’t get snow, you don’t get NHL Hockey.

I wouldn’t really say it’s the sole cause of the decline, but when you put it that way, it makes a lot of sense as to why the NHL has been on the decline.

Well, the Stars have done pretty well sense leaving and Minnesota got a new team shortly after the stars left, Atlanta was never going to work because it’s Atlanta, Winnepeg has a tram, and it looks like Quebec and Seattle will be getting expansion teams soon.

They really need the #1 pick for a few years.

Austan Matthews is from Arizona, just saying moving to a different part of the country has expanded opportunities for youth hockey

I think Kansas City Missouri would be a great place to move the team.
