Only problem is the travel time. Imagine Vancouver playing Helsinki.Better idea than last year at least when it kicked off in London, they have a huge interest for hockey there.
I think in a few years there'll be an European division in NHL.

I'm thinking reduce the North American teams with 10 and replace with 10 European teams. And when teams play overseas they could play 5-6 matches in a row there before returning. And they wouldn't have to play eachother that often during ordinary season, say two times overseas per season. Lets face it, if NHL is gonna be able to keep it's status as best leauge in the world something like this will have to be done sooner or later, as more and more players choose the Russian leauge right now.
Well, something that's stupid about the NHL today is that it's a closed leauge, no team can drop out by placing last. That would be a better solution, giving clubs in the leauges under a chance to advance.
No every country has it's own leauge.the better answer is for europe to have a major league of their own. do they have one? i imagine at least russia has a league.
