A game in Canada would be good but NHL cares a lot about ratings in the US.

Something like a Toronto-Montreal game would be huge in Canadian ratings but not as huge in the US unless NHL added US teams or had the game in the US.

It sounds stupid but that is the main reason the NHL has Winter Classics since it is only about the ratings and boost in publicity in the US.
