Sujet: Questions for my fellow Habs fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>Understand and appreciate your perspective. I would counter that waiting has not worked for Buffalo, Ottawa, Edmonton(in the past). Detroit in the other hand, until they fell apart, I think we all felt would make the playoffs.

<strong>I want to be in the mix playing "meaningful games" asap. I've had enough of this slow and steady. There is no guarantee that yields any results. We might just teach our players that it's "ok to lose"</strong>.</div></div>

I mean, we we're playing meaningful games for most of the season, even down the last stretch of the season the team was still giving it their all. There's no guarantee jumping the gun would yield any results either, look at Ottawa going for Debrincat, Chychrun, Giroux, Tarasenko and nothing has worked for them, they tried to jump the gun and now they look lost. MSL has also done a really nice job of coaching and will continue to get the most out of the players, the fear that we're teaching players it's okay to lose is irrational.

Sujet: Expansion Ideas and Division Reshaping
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AK50</b></div><div>If the league expanded to 36+ teams, what would the 4 new teams be and how would you reshape the divisions, if at all?

I'd add Phoenix(new ownership), Halifax, Houston and Portland. I'd change the divisions to 6 teams
Pacific: San Jose, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary
South-Central: Anaheim, LA, Phoenix, Utah, Vegas, St. Louis
North-Central: Winnipeg, Minnesota, Chicago, Detroit, Columbus, Colorado
Southeast: Tampa, Florida, Nashville, Carolina, Dallas, Houston
Metro: Pittsburgh, Washington, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Islanders, Rangers
Atlantic: Boston, Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Buffalo</div></div>

Won't be Halifax, If Canada gets another team it's in Toronto/Hamilton (GTA) or Quebec City

If I had to add 4 teams, they would be Phoenix, Houston, Atlanta. Then the 4th could be any of Kansas City, Quebec City, Somewhere in the Greater Toronto Area, etc
