Quick thoughts...
...Carolina wasn't an expansion team; not a major error, but he did use it as part of his evidence...
...You can't just make some arbitrary guideline like "if your city can't naturally create ice". Places like Atlanta, Carolina, and Nashville get ice every year...
...Some teams need to be cut. Florida, Atlanta, Nashville, Columbus, Phoenex, and Carolina would be a start. Three teams from each conference. You go back to 4 divisions of six...
...You change the playoffs. Top three teams from each division, or six from each conference, so 12 teams. Better teams are in the playoffs, making the games better...
...Make serious changes to goalie pads to eliminate the huge advantage they get...
...Finally, salary cap, salary cap, salary cap.
