Given the fact that the NHA started over 100 years ago, and disbanded 95 years ago with four teams ordering the disbandment of the fifth team, is an unrealistic comparison to today’s NHL, which has lasted 95 years and now has 30 teams, each of which is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Perhaps a form of this needs to take place this year.
