Re: NHL 2016.1 -- Anyone have a Laine on a new Auston?
When the NHL gets to 32 teams, let's think outside tbe box.
8 divisions of 4 teams.
80 game schedule. Play everyone outside your division Home and Home (56 games). Play your division 8 games each (24 games)
Top 2 teams in each division make playoffs. Play your own division in Round 1. Round 2 and beyond are seeded by points to get to the final 2 that play for the Cup.
Sample Divisions
Canada East: MTL, OTT, TOR, BUF
Canada West: WPG, EDM, CAL, VAN
Amtrak: BOS, NYI, NYR, NJD
South: CAR, TAM, FLA, NSH
Mid Atlantic: WAS, PHI, PIT, CLB
West: LA, ANA, SJ, SEA(?)
Central 1: DET, CHI, MIN, STL
Central 2, LAS, COL, DAL, AZ
Notes: When somebody gets relocated to Quebec, they go into Canada East and Buffalo slides somewhere which may cause a further bump.CCT '77 & '78

To nitpick, I'd substitute "Southwest" for "Central 2."
As a Blackhawks fan, I like the Central 1 group. As someone with a secondary rooting interest in the CBJ, I like the Mid-Atlantic group as well. Yes, every team could point out rivals they wish were in their grouping. But I honestly think your re-alignment plan gives everyone in the league a decent deal.

Don't like seeing Top 2 as it rewards weaker divisions. Top 1 + 4 WC which changes the proposed playoff format as well which is fine. It should be 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, etc. anyway not this forced into creating rivalries b.s.
