[QUOTE="Car, post: 725855, member: 72474"] You'd end up killing a great part of the culture, which would drive many fans away. In German ice hockey, the Bundesliga was replaced by the DEL. Relegation was abolished and teams adopted American-like names instead of their traditional club names. The lack of relegation helped stabilise the league after massive financial problems, but interest in the sport is much lower than in the 80s or 90s because many consider it to be a "Mickey Mouse league". Now imagine they had franchises, a draft system and in addition to that they'd play in a multinational league. That'd hurt the sport, at least for quite some time. They'd really have to offer a much more attractive product to make people tolerate that. Because most wouldn't like it, just tolerate it. [/QUOTE]
