TSN talks about the proposed NHL realignment.
Two conferences (14 teams in west and 16 teams in east)
Four divisions (7 teams in each western and 8 in each eastern)
Top 3 from each division makes playoffs + 2 wild card spots for each conference
It is hard to figure out the perfect balance, so this is probably as good as any. Maybe adding the possibility of an eastern conference team crossing over to the west if they had more points and had won the season series would help balance a little more.
