Moved to a suburb of Toronto is not sweet. That's like putting another MLB team in New York/New England. You don't grow the sport as a brand by loading up on where the sports is popular.

This isn't moving the team to Winnipeg, Windsor, Saskatoon, Quebec City or Regina. This isn't moving the team to a new US market in a larger city that has hosted minor league hockey for years... This is moving to a
TORONTO SUBURB
Loading up in eastern Canada is detrimental to the SPORT AS A WHOLE. You see Canada and you react with positivity because of nationalism but it's bigger than that. It's not a black-and-white, US vs. Canada deal.
You can state the why and that's something that's apparent. I state the where and the problem with it which is larger and much more of an issue than your knee-jerk approval.
