They have their hockey leagues and we have ours. It's fine as it is with just American and Canadian teams in my opinion.

If it's boring, and you presumably don't watch it, why do you give a sh*t?

European Hockey is quite different from Canadian/American Hockey. Though it would be fun to watch, they have two different schools of thought not to mention rules.

Plenty of Europeans find success in the NHL, and presumably if it will be an NHL expansion, they will play by NHL rules.

I imagine that the travel time required to get across the ocean and the jet lag factor would be difficult to work into the schedule...

Perhaps they can find success with an "NHL Europe" league similar to what the NFL has...

That could be worked around with extended road trips for teams both sides of the pond.

That might work for a regular season schedule, but wouldn't a playoff series on two continents be rather grueling?
