Tell me you don't understand balance sheets without telling me you don't understand balance sheets. 

There aren't 16 Canadian markets to support teams. The #16 market is Saskatoon ... which is FMWF sized. 

first north american sport to copy english premiere league tiers and relegation is gonna make a lot of money....alot!

Toronto needs to tear it all down, GM, coach, roster. Trade assets that'll be FAs in a year or two now and get pieces to build a roster that's more than four guys*.

Market, interest, media, Toronto should be the New York Yankees of the NHL; instead they are the Minnesota Twins. 

 

*They have $40M tied up in four guys and nearly $50 in five. That's not functional if they don't perform when it matters.

saskatoon can't have a nhl team but green bay wisconsin can have a nfl team?

Call Ryan Reynolds and his pals and put a group together to get the Saskatoon franchise if you think it's a winning proposition.

They need to move Marner, Nylander, and Mathews before July 1st. That is when their NMC/NTC starts. 

As Steve Dangle put it there is no money to add pieces because you have all that money tied up in 5 players, that includes Morgan takes up 48 million

Seattle needs a center or two one elite defenseman and either keep Jones or Driedger. Grubauer isn't going to get moved with that big contract. They were also missing Donskoi, Burakovsky, and Hayden. 

That power play was like UNDs for the last few years, Hak tries to get Karl to come run the power play?
