Canada, thanks largely to the hugely appreciated loonie, is a much more attractive place for the NHL to do business than it was a decade ago. And the new salary cap system has really benefited the smaller-market Canadian clubs. But Canadians shouldn’t get too carried away with the idea that NHL franchises will start popping up north of the 49th parallel.

“If you just look at the basic economics, it looks like there should be room for one more team in Canada and one less in the U.S.,” he said.
