I think the nhl might see more value in a large market going deeper into playoffs not swept. Isn’t that why it was 24 teams included. Tv rating from big markets brought Montreal and Chicago and New York in to play in. I just don’t see why nhl would want New York to lay an egg better to keep as many viewers longer. Smaller markets = less ratings so nhl likely should have gifted panthers for throwing it and providing the least rating hit
