Hello. What makes Balsillie's bid irrelevant? The NHL's proven over the years (and this latest action confirms it) they don't want to expand into Canada. They feel the league will be hurt by having another Canadian team in the picture, because US teams can't market the Kitchener or Hamilton Predators.
Guess what? This argument is irrelevant right now, because they can't market teams right now anyway, if TV ratings and gate receipts are any indication. Besides, all teams don't play each other right now anyway. If the NHL wants to increase to 32 teams, that would make 8 divisions of 4 teams. Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Hamilton/Kitchener could be one, and Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and a US team (Minnesota? Colorado?) could be the other. In this setup, it would minimize Canadian teams playing in the US.
Since the NHL will reject this thinking, the only way Balsillie will become relevant is to buy an existing Canadian franchise and keep it there.
