KingAlex Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Toronto gets a 2nd team? Double the embarrassment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Don't like the idea of watering down the talent pool even more. Salary cap needs to be lower for this to work IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex425 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Toronto gets a 2nd team? Double the embarrassment! Both toronto teams get a lottery pick every year :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 This also means an exodus from the KHL likely. Plenty of NHL castoffs will suddenly have homes again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Toronto gets a 2nd team? Double the embarrassment! Quadruple if the new Toronto team wins a cup before the Leafs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC20.0 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Holy crap holy crap holy crap. 9 Canadian teams, and Seattle. It's like a dream come true! But... Now I wonder if they're gonna contract any teams, cause there's waay too many.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 So does this mean an expansion draft? PROTECT ALL THE GOOD PLAYERS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstank29 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Well good thing all are prospects will be developed by them so we don't have to worry about losing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drouin Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Looks like Toronto will finally get an NHL team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Too many NHL teams. They should re-locate Phoenix and maybe Florida and then expand in the other two cities. The talent pool is going to be ridiculously watered down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex425 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 So does this mean an expansion draft? PROTECT ALL THE GOOD PLAYERS!We can let Seattle have all the scrubs... We keep our young guns and destroy Seattle for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyllenhaal Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 So could they be moving a team like Phoenix or Florida. Four expansion drafts in 3 years would be ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Giraffe Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 32 teams would be much more ideal in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Face of Eddie Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Awesome, getting the Nordiques back and a Seattle team Hmm, was hearing Kansas City last couple days, no mention of another TO team. Side note, longest lasting team in Vegas was the IHL's Vegas Thunder, a whopping entire 6 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Maybe the idea is two of the existing teams eventually fold so it goes to 32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brilac Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Two NHL teams for Toronto.. My oh my! I already don't feel so good about the Maple Leafs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC20.0 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Maybe the idea is two of the existing teams eventually fold so it goes to 32? The Coyotes and Panthers by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
