I voted yes because I think it's good for the foreign players to be able to play in their home countries. I think we forget sometimes how far away from home these guys are, and it's good that the NHL should try to recognize that.
I've been against the Jets as a trade partner but their current situation on defense is untenable. I don't know who else in the west has offense they can give up to get defense. Maybe San Jose?
Well that's kinda it though. If you're going to establish yourself as that kind of team in order to get that favorable treatment you need to accept endless penalties until the refs give up. Which is not the easiest argument to make when your team is also bad.
