DaytonBlue Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Florida should be in the Atlantic. The formatting was messed up. Thanks for pointing that out, don't want to give the NHL any ideas!

Crash Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Play everyone outside of your division 2x. Division foes are 5 or 6 times depending on division size.That's a difference of 3 games, depending on your division. If you're in an 8-team division, you'd play 77 games, while in a 7-team division, you'd play 80.How I got there: 8-team: 2 x 21 = 42. 5 x 7 = 35. 42 + 35 = 77.7-team: 2 x 22 = 44. 6 x 6 = 36. 44 + 36 = 80.

DaytonBlue Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 7-team divisions 6*6 3623*2 46 828-team divisions division 384 teams 5x, 3 teams 6x 22*2 44 82Yes it's not the most balanced, but it does help teams like Detroit and Columbus who would only have to play 8 games more than one time zone away. The rest of their road games would start at 7 or 8 et. This would keep them from whining as much about staying in the West, which I think they both would have to do if Phoenix moves to Quebec. And if Phoneix moves East, they only have to play 7 games in the Pacific time zone.Of course, what I think would be easier would be to stay with 6 divisions and move to an NBA model of scheduling:-2 games against other conference=30-4 games against divisional teams=16-remainder of games against intraconference teams=36 (some would be 3x, some 4x, on a rotating basis)This would give CBJ and DET 13 games in the pacific time zone, give or take, depending on what intraconference teams they are playing 4x that year.The drawback to the NBA model is playing your divisional rivals less times.

Crash Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 http://aol.sportingnews.com/nhl/story/2011-07-07/minnesota-wild-owner-hints-at-possible-division-alterationSpeaking on radio station KFAN in Minneapolis, Leipold linked his team to a Central Division group that smacks of the old Norris Division, back when the groupings had historic names rather than geographical reference.?Our division would include the Winnipeg Jets, (the Wild), the Blues, the Nashville Predators, the Dallas Stars, the [Chicago] Blackhawks and maybe the Columbus Blue Jackets," Leipold said, according to CSNChicago.com. "Maybe not, depending on if they go east or west. I?m all in favor of that. I think it?s a grand slam, home run, hat trick for our team.?

crashcarson15 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Honestly, I'm happier with that than moving to the East for the CBJ. You'd get to play in a very weak division overall IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't even fall under the reasons of the current 16/14 split. Seems like you just randomly made up teams and alignments.

Most of the powerhouse teams in the MLB lie on the East Coast right now (Spankees, Red Sox, Rays, Phillies) so the Eastern Conference would dominate to the point where it wouldn't even be worth watching the western half of the league anymore.

There's just too many odd seperations and alignments (KC, COL, SD, AZ, MIN as a division?)And the scheduling leaves something to be desired.

Seadragon76 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 The problem is trying to get a good divisional format while trying to attain some sort of geographic sense. Minnesota was the oddball in the first attempt largely because of their location. They are farther away from the other Central based teams. I may have to tweak it so that it would look better.As for the schedule: I think 160 games is a nice even number. Why 162 games? 160 is good enough, but I may tweak it to try and make it work better.
