The NHL would rather put have teams play in empty arenas in Florida and Arizona.

I mean, I guess that kind of makes sense in a way though. The aim is to grow hockey's popularity in those areas over the long term by having teams there right? If it works then that should result in more revenue for all teams. Of course if it doesn't work (which seems to be the case so far) it just looks like a dumb move

You play the NHL games? Do you have to import them?

The main obstacle is the teams in southern USA are mainly popular when they do well. So to grow the popularity they would have to be good all the time. I can't really blame them when they also have NFL, MLB and NBA teams to follow.
