they have exhibition and regular season games over in Europe all the time nowadays, but they're usually in countries like Sweden, Finland, and the Czech Republic.
but all of those countries are already hockey countries with established leagues and systems that develop a considerable number of NHL players.
So wouldn't it make a lot more sense to have games that aren't "hockey countries" but have room to grow the sport and the league?
imo, they should have games in countries such as:
Hungary
Poland
Italy
Japan
South Korea
etc.
those countries are all either developing hockey countries or ones that have the money, infrastructure and whatnot to support hockey as a sport(which is rather expensive).
thoughts?
