If organic, grassroots, community support for our sports teams were a tenth of what European football has, and if we had an additional season-long tournament (with fewer games, of course) for a second cup that was equally as prestigious as the Stanley Cup, then a game between the Marlies and the Habs would be a scintillating affair. The outcome would probably be predictable, though it would still be worth watching, as upsets do happen.
Realistically the relegation and promotion system is not going to happen in North America. That's not because things are better here (clearly they're not), it's just the way things are. Shrug.
