Do you realize that if that team didn't exist in Florida (or teams in any other city that you hate) your ticket would still cost $700? Now what?
And who is "we?"
Do you realize that you are wrong? I am a capitalist and I completely understand the supply and demand curve, but, I understand it to a deeper level.
btw.... what is with your use of the word hate? That is inflammatory and is a weak effort to divide. I do not forsake any hockey fan and would abhor any hard core fan losing their team.
So the first thing that needs to be determined here before we go forward is for you to satisfactorily explain this.
I understand it sounds tautological. I think the game would be better with a lot of current first line talent playing third line roles. There's a whole lot of meh in the league and a lot of boring games.
As a Ducks fan, I'd hate to see them go, but if the league was contracting and the product was ultimately better I'd make peace with them being one of the teams that disappeared.
Would your tix price go down if certain teams moved or folded?
Geography.
Then why not put Detroit with Columbus and Pittsburgh? Boston is closer to Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto than they are Columbus too.
What about child fans?
Is/are there too many teams in the league? Should it be divided in two by now if they keep creating teams to create revenue?
With 32 teams, if you have an average chance of about 3% now of winning the cup in any given year and your adult life happens to be 60 years, you have over a 15% chance of never seeing your team win the cup once in that time. 60 years is an awful long time.
This would assume all teams are about the same avg quality over that amount of time.

I like this. Cuts down on travel costs and massively increases rivalries if there are more games within your own division.
LOL @ your capitalism claim. True capitalism is represented by hairdressers and tamale shacks--perfect competition, no impediments to competitors, and low startup costs.
The NHL and other major leagues are essentially cartels--Just like the banks that rig your ATM fees and the cell phone companies that ding you for roaming.
The leagues intentionally keep the supply of franchises lower than the actual demand. They may complain about a few weak sisters, but if the league were unhealthy, why are franchises expensive, and why have their values gone up so much?
We have zero desire in "growing the game". It results in us true hard core fans being forsaken for the benefit of more casual fans.
We want to watch the best hockey we can.
We don't want to pay $700 for a ticket just so some dude in Florida can get 2 free tickets, 2 free beer and free parking if he buys a Papa John's large pizza.
You've got that all wrong!!!!!! It's a medium pizza.
I wasn’t aware 4th liners played 15 minutes a night?Too many players, drop it to 3 lines
4th liners are just AHL cap filler
It's like paying $200+ to watch your favourite band and every 4th song the crappy opening act comes out for an encore
Depends on the team, the Habs roll 4 lines but typically no PP time for the 4th line so they are usually in the 12 min range. Going to guess the Oilers 4th line doesn't break a sweat with McJesus around 25, hopefully we see more of thatI wasn’t aware 4th liners played 15 minutes a night?
