Getting things lined up for some NHL realignment

Now that they have a financial template for at least seven more seasons, the NHL Board of Governors soon will try to work on that partnership thingy with their players. We know what a failure that has been in the past. Witness: one player strike, two league-imposed lockouts.

But that said, the league and the players union should be able to work quickly and intelligently toward crafting a realignment plan, something that makes sense for the current Original 30 and perhaps accommodates a couple of new (read: expansion) franchises.

Comments

Hello Kevin, I might be ill-informed (in fact, I know I am about a great many things.), but in any talk of NHL expansion or franchise re-location Milwaukee never seems to come up. To me, Wisconsin is a perfect place for the NHL to consider.   

Interesting for you to use the word "immature" to desribe Kane's antics.  It's exactly what comes to mind about you when you publish your infantile obsession with "Jumbo" Joe Thornton.

How many comments will you need to receive before you decide that we truly don't care about him and you come off like a child who should be sent to the corner whenever you reference him.


And please can the "original 30" as it's about as original as a toupee.
