@SwAgStRaDaMuS30I'm sorry mate but 75,000 is a ludicrous number - NHL on PC is a vastly more popular topic and even then they could only garner 15,000 dedicated signatures; let's be nice and double that number for more casual players and you still have numbers that are too low.
EASHL is one of the most popular modes that isn't monetized anymore. The team has an obligation to the community to provide resources into modes they are going to play so it makes sense they'd give the axe to something like Connected.
Even if you got 50,000 people to sign a petition, that'd be less than 10% of the total player base which just isn't viable business
