At the risk of making an intelligent point

I don't even really "like" hockey, per se... but without making too obvious a point, wouldn't moving the Penguins to Toronto be the best idea? Their lease is set to run out in Steeltown (the American one) in June. Apparently Captain Blackberry didn't much care for some of the stipulations they were forcing on him, and so he backed out... but my questions is: Why? Is the NHL so ridiculously US-centric that they can't see the simplest, and best, solution to the Penguin situation?

Three teams in greater New York (New Jersey is like their Mississauga, really....), two in LA, if you count Anaheim (and you should)... but only one in clearly hockey-crazed Toronto, or in broader terms, Southern Ontario?!? Insane. You mean to tell me that a team featuring Canadian stars like Syd the Kid and Marc-Andre Fleury (not to mention the practically already crowned ROY, Evgeny Malkin) couldn't find a rabid following in the same vein as the Mets or Jets do in NYC??

Absurd.
