Qucik Hit ideas

So I was bored last night and came up with an idea for the NHL to shake things up, and maybe even help team sales, help a few teams out by evening out the amount of travel for each NHL team. My idea: reformatting the divisions/conferences. This way, we get away from some of the same old matches we have seen now for over a decade, keeping a few of the major rivalries, and creating a new level of competition and possibly evening things out a little (no more southeast division). So here is my new conferences and divisions:

Campbell Conference:

Div 1
Edmonton
Vancouver
Calgary
Chicago
Columbus

Div 2
Dallas
Tampa Bay
Florida
Pittsburgh
Philadelphia

Div 3
Colorado
Washington
St Louis
Buffalo
New Jersey


Wales Conference:

Div 1
Montreal
Toronto
Ottawa
Minnesota
Carolina

Div 2
Boston
Phoenix
San Jose
New York R
New York I

Div 3
LA
Anaheim
Detroit
Nashville
Atlanta

So with this, my new NHL, there is a little more travel between division, then in the old NHL (new jersey, pitts, new york, new york, philly all in one div). This should even things out for all the teams like Vancouver and Florida. Also, this may help in ticket sales, as now teams are playing different teams more often, and yet, some of the good rivalries, are still intact. Competition within conferences should be interesting as superpowers have switched sides, and now team building may become a huge factor.

Anyways, just thought I`d throw out an idea.
