The Best NHL Re-alignment Plan Ever!


Roger Clemente

Recommended Posts

I've kept the current 30 teams, but added 6 more. Here are the proposed divisions:

GOLISANO CONFERENCE

ADAMS DIVISION:

Anaheim Ducks

Calgary Flames

Columbus Blue Jackets

New York Rangers

Regina Wolves

Washington Capitals

NORRIS DIVISION:

Alaska Seals

Chicago Blackhawks

New York Islanders

Ottawa Senators

Tampa Bay Lightning

Yucatan Warriors

SMYTHE DIVISION:

Albuquerque Roadrunners

New Jersey Devils

Montreal Canadiens

Kansas City Scouts

San Jose Sharks

Vancouver Canucks

SNIDER CONFERENCE

PATRICK DIVISION:

Buffalo Sabres

Florida Panthers

Mare Tranquillitatis Mariners

Minnesota Wild

Phoenix Coyotes

St. Louis Blues

BALLARD DIVISION:

Boston Bruins

Carolina Hurricanes

Edmonton Oilers

Los Angeles Kings

Nashville Predators

Pittsburgh Penguins

WIRTZ DIVISION:

Atlanta Thrashers

Dallas Stars

Colorado Avalanche

Detroit Red Wings

Philadelphia Flyers

Toronto Maple Leafs

Seasons will be 80 games. 4 games each against your 5 division rivals. 2 games each against the other 30 teams.

Top 14 teams in Conference make playoffs. Seeds 1 and 2 get first round byes. Division winners get 1, 2, 3 seeds.

Because of the complete disregard for geographic grouping, travel should be somewhat equal.

This probably couldn't take effect until 2012 at the earliest in regards to the creation of a convenient travel option so people can play at the H&R Block Arena in Mare Tranquillitatis.

Enjoy.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say you never even read my post...

With a name like "Mariners," I think they should be based in Wyoming.

I think Lamicus could help with the ID package. Just sayin'...

[Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008

Dear Sir,

Your proposed realignment plan does not include a team in Quebec, Winnipeg and/or Hartford. According to the CCSLC unwritten code of ethics, any realignment thread regarding the National Hockey League shall include a minimum of two franchises relocating from the Sun Belt to Canada or Hartford.

In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

I mean, seriously, an NHL team in Mare Tranquillitatis, which is on our moon?

And an NHL team in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula? Are you kidding me?

This "REEL, LINE, MINT" plan will never EVER see the light of day!

Right over someones head.

BTW, I love the idea of the Ballard and Wirtz divisions. Perhaps the Patrick division can be renamed the John Spano division.

This is what you're looking for:

Yet there's no Alan Eagleson Division, either. As big of a travesty as humanly possible.

Its all good except maybe change the names of the conferences. And putting the Flyers and Pens in different divisions aint so good an idea either.

Philadelphia / Pittsburgh is not a rivalry in Philadelphia.

As for this realignment plan, I can't believe Idaho didn't get a team.

I think the great Keith Jackson says it best when describing this complete obliviousness.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOH NELLY!
