More Jobs for players, coaches, front office arena staff, new fans in new cities. If it's done correctly it's good for everyone. I mean of course it's going to be good for the owners, if it wasn't why would they do it?

I just want Saskatchewan to get a team ;-D

Give 'em green jerseys and call them the Roughriders and they will fill the rink every game! (of course that would have to be like half the population of Regina, lol).

dispersion draft sucks, it will take at least a few years for those teams to get competitive, and a few years for the talent dilution to get caught up

i mean 2 more is definitely necessary now, but anything more than that would be silly

wouldnt every team have to let go of one player?

i dont care for extra goals coming by way of shittier skaters or bigger nets. i'd rather have more meaningful goals than lots of cheap ones generated due to shit like that

You guys ready for the Winter Classic rivalry of 'Hawks at Caps? As a Hawks fan I'm excited because of 24/7 for the Hawks but outside of that I think its a really poor choice for who is playing the Caps. Does the NHL really think there is no one else that would have bigger appeal for the Winter Classic than the Hawks? There's a half dozen teams I'd rather see play the Caps that have bigger rivalries and would be more interesting games.

It's definitely a bit of an odd matchup. I'm also a bit hesitant about the 24/7 as last year both teams really seemed to close HBO out and not let them follow the team as much, and the program quality suffered as a result. I hope its not precedence for the coming year.

Anyone see the new rule changes for this year? (still to be voted on i guess)

From wiki:

• The trapezoidal areas behind each net in which goaltenders are allowed to play the puck are to be made 4 feet (1.2 m) wider than their current width.
  
• The width of the hashmarks outside the faceoff circles will be extended from their current 3.5 feet to five feet.
  
• Prior to any overtime period, both teams will change ends and the ice will be dry-scraped by an ice resurfacer. The league hopes that the "long line changes" and the better ice surfaces will increase scoring in overtime, and thus decrease shootouts.
  
• Coaches no longer have to submit a list of shootout participants as it begins. The coaches will be free as to who they will pick next.
  
• Teams that ice the puck can only use one center to take the ensuring faceoff. If that player attempts to get kicked out of the faceoff to buy his team time, he'll get a two-minute delay-of-game penalty.
  
• The NHL's "situation room" will have more latitude to conduct video reviews of goals that don't fall under the guidelines of what can be reviewed but that clearly weren't scored legally.
  
• The wording "embellishment" will be changed to allow an escalating scale of fines to repeat-offense players and coaches.
