The NHL has long been a secondary league in the USA with pockets of great fans being overshadowed by the rest of the league being viewed as lesser. It has been the constant struggle for the NHL in trying to get the league to work everywhere rather than just a few spots. The biggest concern is the fact that a number of teams are losing money regularly in the USA and that is holding the league back. After posting profits in the last few years the NHL sees a lot left on the table that could make them a bigger force in the USA and therefore a bigger member of the Big Four.

The Metropolitan Division does not have the most popular name in the NHL as many did not like it when the NHL announced the new division last year. Yet there is no other name that could describe this division any better. It is exactly that, a Metropolitan division with some of the biggest cities in the NHL in the division. New York is represented with their two teams alongside New Jersey from across the Hudson. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia also have their cities represented in the division.

The Newest name division might not have a name that rolls off of the tongue but it is pretty accurate. The Metropolitan Division is just that as it features some of the biggest markets in the NHL. It may not have the Maple Leafs or the Canadiens but the size of the cities that love hockey in this division are much bigger. It will feature two states that have some of the biggest followings in the game while also including some of the largest Eastern cities.
