If you want hockey to be extremely competitive and full of rivalry, I say break away from the NHL and start a league with only Montreal, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Quebec, Chicago, Detroit, NY Rangers, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Minnesota and Boston.
Only keep hockey in the cities that really want it and need it, bigger doesn't always mean better. It will never happen of course but it would solve alot of problems and make the game alot better.
Or you could create an A-League and B-League and so on, adopt a similar format as English Soccer, the bottom A teams drop, the top B teams go up, one division. That might be far fetched too, but Im just shooting out ideas as they come to me here, just for the sake of discussion more than anything.

Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”
