Open Question: NHL Contraction (Read On)? and more... Open Question: NHL Contraction (Read On)?I was reading an Intresting post on espn talking about the nhl's problems. One point of blame was that the league's gotten too big and it's diluting the talent and also the too many non-traditional hockey markets. It suggested folding 6 teams and moving 6 others to Canada creating 12team conferences for USA and Canada. Well I can't see how the 2nd idea would work (The NHL's top 12 USA Hockey markets: Colorado, Chicago, Boston, Detroit, Minnesota, NY (Both teams), Pittsburgh, Philly, Washington, Buffalo, and maybe St Louis). However I know certain markets (LA, Dallas, San Jose, Anaheim) aren't traditional but haven't been horrible However the contraction idea may make sense. Consider if the league contracted 6teams (Phoenix, Florida, Tampa, Atlanta, Nashville and Carolina). Then pretend that the league did a draft for the team's players (Order from last years draft). Look how much better certain teams get 1. NYI- Stamkos 2. COL- Lecavilier 3. LAK- St. Louis 4. TOR- Kovalchuk 5. DAL- Staal 6. OTW- Ward 7. EDM- Bryzgalov 8. MIN- Weber 9. BUF- Dumont 10. ANA- Hedman (I have Stamkos going 1st because of his age and his contract) (Lecavilier may fall because of his contract but you know someone would take him) (Kovalchuk falls to 4 because he's a UFA at season's end and Burke could ship him for top prospects) (Ottawa and Edmonton get franchise goalies) (Buffalo I think would take a veteran here and I'd guess they'd go with Dumont over Doan because JP of the PR boost) Also if you disagree with the draft thing feel free to submit your own order What do you think of these ideas Open Question: Who to start for week 15?Who should I start this week?
