Look at the most recent EA Sports PGA Tour game that was released a few days ago and see the response from PC players as an indication as to what you would see with a PC release of the NHL series. What you really want is a really well thought out PC release that has all the features, gameplay, modes and everything else that the next gen consoles have but with much better graphics and unlimited FPS. The reality is that you will get at most half of what the next gen consoles get including a ton of extra bugs that will take years to truly iron out because EA puts PC on the backburner. For even more evidence just look at how they are handling Madden for the PC - still treating it like a last generation console with tons of bugs and issues that the next gen console versions have no problems with.
The fact is for any AAA sports games to come back to the PC and get the love that it deserves - it will take another company/developer to step in and make it happen. There have been a few in the small developer space for football like Maximum Football but there hasn't been anything for hockey and unless some big developer is developing it in complete secrecy... the outlook is extremely grim.

All the fans who want a PC version released would demand a version which has the same quality and standards as the console version. Otherwise there is no point for EA to even make a PC version. I remember the last PC version that was released back in 2008. It was just a “copy paste version” of NHL07, it did not have the "skill stick" which was something new and revolutionary back then, it also lacked many other features compared to the console version.
Either, EA has to make a quality PC version. If not, then they shouldn't bother to make one either.
Lol I think you're gonna want to raise your standards a little higher than current console quality.
I and many others would be tremendously angry if the team was to take time/resources away from console stuff to just copy it 1:1 -- next year would be a nothing burger and every subsequent year would have improvements split between the two at like ¼ efficiency
