from Ray Slover of the Sporting News,
Let’s admit this much: An NHL presence in Europe makes sense, if only to fend off the Continental Hockey League (KHL). We don’t need to see KHL czar Alexander Medvedev pounding a shoe at an IIHF conference to know there’s a cold war on between the old boys of the western world and the mother Russians.
But the last thing the NHL needs to do is pull its attention away from its own nest. At the risk of sounding protectionist and isolationist—but yes, I am a bit ist about this—Gary Bettman’s crew must take care of its own before it goes off on some overseas adventure.

This article screams “I’m afraid of change” and “Get off my lawn.”
Look there are many reasons why the league shouldn’t expand to Europe. Implications on the CBA is one reason and personally I don’t support European expansion at this time. However this is just a lazy article, that involves no rsearch, that makes no mention of the possible reasons.
