An unexpected first step towards another lockout.
Well done, fellas.

This makes zero sense. I wish the PA would give some sort of explaination.

Realignment talks back on, new look. Detroit wins huge if this happened

Makes too much sense.

Canadian teams really get screwed by realignment. Too many teams all clumped together in two divisions.
The Florida teams really screw up the travel too in Division C, but I get it for as snow birds from Canada will bring in a lot of revenue.

I really hate everything about this realignment. Having Winnipeg in the same division as Nashville, St Louis and Dallas makes about as much sense as having the Florida teams in the same division as Montreal, Boston, Toronto, Buffalo, Ottawa and Detroit.

I never realized how open the Midwest is. It's pretty much just the Avalanche.

I don't think you know what the Midwest is.

Where else do you put Winnipeg though? The Florida teams are goofy for sure, but as a Red Wing fan this is gold. Staying in the Eastern Time Zone and gaining back rivalries with Montreal, Boston and Toronto is awesome.

Move them into div C and shift the Florida teams into div D.

LOL so you want 10 teams in Division D, 7 in Division C, 6 in Division B and 7 in Division A. Brilliant.

Hah, apologies. The officially unnamed area that are the Rocky Mountains and west of the Mississippi.

You'd have to a bit of extra shuffling as well but given how close all the teams are in div C and D it wouldn't be a big issue.

These divisions are split by time zone pretty much, Winnipeg is where they should be.
