In this universe Bettman continued to be a commish for a decade until he retired and his son took over for another 30 years, and a man from Quebec City treated him and his father Gary rudely so he refused to add a team there until the new commish took over in 2064 and immediately announced a team in Quebec City (I just added hint that there will be a sequel series ) Update: you can throw out that story now lol, Nordiques added. There will still be a sequel series called NHL 2084 Edited February 26 by TrueYankee26 Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northeast Atlantic Southeast Central Northwest Pacific Boston Baltimore Atlanta Austin Calgary Anaheim Buffalo Columbus Carolina Chicago Colorado Los Angeles Hartford Kentucky Florida Houston Dallas Phoenix Detroit New Jersey Nashville Indianapolis Edmonton Portland Montreal New York I. Norfolk Milwaukee Kansas City San Jose Ottawa New York R.

BrySmalls Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 33 minutes ago, McCall said: Why is San Antonio in the Pacific instead of Vegas? Vegas is literally further west and closer to the other Pacific teams than Phoenix even is. That's a fair question. I was trying to solve the "4 teams in Texas" problem and overthought the situation. I saw that San Antonio was the furthest "West". Vegas in the Pacific makes more sense. Thinking this through, I would stack Austin, Houston, and San Antonio in the Central; move Dallas to the Northwest to maintain the Avs-Stars and Stars-Wild rivalry; which allows me to move Vegas to the Pacific.

Vegas is literally further west and closer to the other Pacific teams than Phoenix even is. Agreed. Also, from a small fix stanpoint, it would make sense if San Antonio would be placed in the 'Central' with the other Texas teams, then have Milwaukee to the Northwest, and later Vegas to the Pacific. It might not look ideally perfect, due to Milwaukee and Chicago being actually close by; but from a bare minimum standpoint, it's close enough.

I definitely considered those but ultimately I decided not to break up the Eastern Canadian & any more of the O6 rivalries any further (I did separate the Bruins from the Leafs and Habs so they can face teams in the Boston to Philadelphia corridor more), and brought back another O6 rivalry (NYR vs BOS) Edited March 3 by TrueYankee26 Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustDevil61 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 What I feel is the best possible realignment option for a 32-team MLB, probably the better half of 10 years out, preserving the AL/NL setup, assuming the next 2 expansion teams are Nashville and Salt Lake City (in italics). AL East Baltimore Boston Cleveland Chicago White Sox Detroit NY Yankees Tampa Bay Toronto AL West Houston Kansas City LA Angels Oak/LV Minnesota Seattle Texas Utah* NL East Atlanta Cincinnati Miami Nashville* NY Mets Philadelphia Pittsburgh Washington NL West Arizona Colorado Chicago Cubs LA Dodgers Milwaukee St. Louis San Diego San Francisco I at least find 4 divisions of 8 to work better for leagues that play so many games as opposed to 8 divisions of 4 (which is basically every Big 4 league except the NFL). The goal here was to preserve as many rivalries as possible while minimizing the number of time zones in each division, which gets tougher the further west you go. Part of me wanted to see if I could put the Astros back into the NL West, but ultimately decided against it due to the success they've had as an AL team, though you could effectively swap them with Milwaukee. *You can easily interchange Nashville with a Carolina team (whether Charlotte or Raleigh) and Utah with Las Vegas, Oakland, or Portland (and that IMO includes the outside chance that the A's themselves wind up in Salt Lake City permanently), but I'm going with what appears to be the likeliest outcome at the time of typing. 2 Quote http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going with Nashville and Salt Lake, here are a few 8 divisions of 4 options: (* - League Swap: COLORADO-TAMPA BAY) NATIONAL LEAGUE WEST SOUTH CENTRAL EAST Arizona Atlanta Chicago Cubs NY Mets LA Dodgers Miami Cincinnati Philadelphia San Diego Nashville Milwaukee Pittsburgh San Francisco Tampa Bay* St. Louis Washington AMERICAN LEAGUE WEST SOUTH CENTRAL EAST LA Angels Colorado* Chicago Sox Baltimore Las Vegas Houston Cleveland Boston Salt Lake Kansas City Detroit NY Yankees Seattle Texas Minnesota Toronto ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This one keeps the West, Central and East between leagues, but one gets the "South" while the other a "North" since Minnesota would be put with KC and the Texas teams (you can get by with Colorado in a division called the "South", but Minnesota would just necessitate a divisional name change). (No League Swapping) NATIONAL LEAGUE WEST CENTRAL SOUTH EAST Arizona Chicago Cubs Atlanta CIN/WSH LA Dodgers Colorado CIN/WSH NY Mets San Diego Milwaukee Miami Philadelphia San Francisco St. Louis Nashville Pittsburgh AMERICAN LEAGUE WEST CENTRAL NORTH EAST LA Angels Houston Chicago Sox Baltimore Las Vegas Kansas City Cleveland Boston Salt Lake Minnesota Detroit NY Yankees Seattle Texas Toronto Tampa Bay Cincinnati and Washington are basically interchangeable here. It just matters if they'd rather keep the Atlantic coast teams together. Cincinnati is closer to Nashville and Atlanta than Washington is. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ And here's an unconventional one. Make the NL Central the "North" and then a Central out of Cincinnati, Nashville, Atlanta and Pittsburgh. The NL East would essentially mimic the current AL East minus Toronto. NATIONAL LEAGUE WEST NORTH CENTRAL EAST Arizona Chicago Cubs Atlanta Miami LA Dodgers Colorado Cincinnati NY Mets San Diego Milwaukee Nashville Philadelphia San Francisco St. Louis Pittsburgh Washington AMERICAN LEAGUE WEST CENTRAL NORTH EAST LA Angels Houston Chicago Sox Baltimore Las Vegas Kansas City Cleveland Boston Salt Lake Minnesota Detroit NY Yankees Seattle Texas Toronto Tampa Bay 2 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManillaToad Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 The Cardinals, Cubs, and Pirates have all been in the same division since divisions were created in 1969. I think Cincy (was in the West until '93) would be the better team to separate from the pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
