i thought this would be a good idea. many will probably find it stupid.

1. tar and feather gary bettman
2. drag him through the streets of winnipeg on the back of a zamboni
3. move atlanta, st. louis, phoenix, carolina, nashville and columbus to quebec, vancouver, toronto (if NY can have 2 teams, toronto and vancouver should too), winnipeg, hamilton, and london.
4. contract florida and washington
5. reassign the 28 teams into a canadian conference of 14 teams and an american conference of 14 teams.
6. reduce schedule to 70 games.
7. american teams only play american, canadian only plays canadian save for an 8 game "interleague" period.
8. stanley cup finals = canadian conference champion vs american conference champion
9. ?????????
10. profit

1. I like
2. I like
3. St. Louis and Columbus work as hockey markets. Ohio could use at least one team.
4. Florida needs to go just so Buffalo can have the Amerks backs (I wonder how many understand this). Washington can stay but Ovechkin should be contracted.
5. If it was possible to have a Canadian conference and an American conference I would actually enjoy it. There isn't anything wrong with the current status though.
6. Nah
7. Meh
8. Would people care about a USA vs Canada matchup south of the border? Maybe more than Edmonton vs Carolina or Ottawa vs Anaheim. Oh wait...
9. League go bye bye
10. Probably not
