like that, you would have the WHA start like thiz:
WHA EAST
new York islanders
Ottawa senators
Quebec nordiques
Hartford whalers
Washington capitals
WHA WEST
Seattle totems
Los Angeles sharks
Calgary stampede
edmonton oilers
Winnipeg jets
that is already a small, yet strong league. the following expansion wars and battles for free agents and european players would give the NHL owners a good challenge, and us readers would have some really interesting votes that can change the future of the sport considerably!

If you are adding Washington into the NHL, why not replace them with the Maimi Screaming Eagles?
