eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted June 12, 2008 Give us the Norris back, toss Nashville to wherever, who cares. Chicago Blackhawks Detroit Red Wings Minnesota Wild St. Louis Blues Toronto Maple Leafs Columbus Blue Jacket Well technically, the 'give us the Norris back' argument would mean: Chicago Blackhawks Dallas Stars Detroit Red Wings St. Louis Blues Tampa Bay Lightning Toronto Maple Leafs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshy207 156 Report post Posted June 12, 2008 The teams in bold made the playoffs. By the looks of the playoff teams, the divisons look fairly even. But, when I look at the teams, the Patrick and Smyth divisions are alot tougher than the Norris and MUCH tougher than the Adams. This year, yes. Next year will be a little different, as will each year following. A side-effect of this alignment might be the strengthening of the southeast teams--free agents may be more willing to sign there knowing that 4 Adams teams are guaranteed to make the playoffs...

MajorWingNut 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2008 :idea: mind you this was only a first try but, Detroit is in east (making a division with 5 of the original 6) and the only team that might have a real complaint being the Penguins.....and they're pretty good at that ! Eastern Conference Atlantic: Devils, Islanders, Senators, Flyers, Sabres Northeast: Bruins, Rangers, Canadiens, Red Wings, Maple Leafs Southeast: Thrashers, Hurricanes, Panthers, Lightning, Capitals Western Conference Central: Blackhawks, Blue Jackets, Penguins, Predators, Blues Midwest: Flames, Avalanche, Oilers, Wild, Stars Pacific: Ducks, Canucks, Kings, Coyotes, Sharks Divisions can be renamed to whatever is preferred.....any takers or comments ? :beerbuddy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timothy1997 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2008 keep the wings in the West. West is much more physical and dominates the East in the cup finals. If the wings moved to the east, wouldnt we be just as soft as the other east teams eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
