1 In AC/DC (radios that do not use power transformers) radios where a line filter capacitor is connected between the hot and ground side of the power line, that capacitor is known as an across-the-line capacitor. 2  Across the line capacitors serve to keep RF noise disturbances from affecting the receiver.

The expansion teams are bound to get help from a high pick in the draft, but the majority of their rosters will come from the rosters of current NHL teams.
32 teams makes it easy for the NHL to balance the conferences with 16 teams on each side. Growing to 31 or 33 teams ... not so much. Four teams would probably be stretching the league too thin. But two is the consensus that feels right to everybody.
