You want pointless realignment, well feast your eyes on this. Here's something nifty I was working on when I was bored at work. It started with a conversation I was having. I said that with the influx of international talent, the NHL could expand by 2 to 6 teams. This generated much debate since most people think there are too many teams in the NHL as it is. Realistically speaking though, it's pretty much unavoidable that all sport leagues will keep expanding. That's capitalism, friends. So in the interest of taking my idea to the extreme, here's a 50 team NHL. Geographically speaking, I think it's :censored:ing impecable. EASTERN CONFERENCE Northeast Division Halifax Hamilton Kitchener Montreal Ottawa Quebec Toronto Atlantic Division Boston Hartford Long Island New Jersey New York Philadelphia Central Division Buffalo Cincinnati Cleveland Columbus Detroit Pittsburgh Southeast Division Atlanta Baltimore Carolina Miami Tampa Bay Washington WESTERN CONFERENCE Midwest Division Chicago Indianapolis Kansas City Minnesota Milwaukee Nashville St. Louis Southwest Division Colorado Dallas Houston Las Vegas Phoenix Utah Pacific Division Anahaeim Los Angeles San Francisco San Jose Seattle Portland Northwest Division Calgary Edmonton Saskatchewan Vancouver Victoria Winnipeg Thoughts? PS: I apologize that my post isn't about moving February to the Summer division. For the record, I think that moving February would crush an already disillusioned fanbase that has, thus far, lost 3 days to free agency.
