I dont know if anybody discusses it here yet but there will be pretty big challenge to create a new playing format starting next season in real NHL. More here:

Especially wild card system seems to be a huge problem, hmmm??

Do you think all the changes will be possible to make??

I think the schedule shouldn't be a problem at all. And by swapping the team spots in rosters you can get the teams in correct conferences, at least.

I would just move Jets to West and Columbus to East. If detroit will go to East, then Western Conference will be really boring, and compare to East something like poor neighboor and on East teams like Islanders, Florida, Buffalo and others will have many problems to even go to playoffs.

I dont like this at all, only thing which is good, is that team will play at least 2 games with all other teams. Never understand that stupid system where teams almost play only with teams from same conference.

I still think that 2-4 teams should be canceled from league.

I read that this proposal will be confirmed also by NHLPA so this new format should be set from next season.

West will really sucks, and if they create two places for new teams, I would like to know, where they will find 60 new players which can play on such level, when teams like Columbus, Florida, Colorado, Winnipeg or Islanders have squads full of average players.

This sucks... i sort of understand it, but then again - an uneven 16 teams in East and 14 teams in West compared to 15 in both... don't like it at all. What i would have done is i just would have moved Winnipeg <-> Columbus, because Detroit is one of the top teams in West.

I think all this realignment is shitty. Who's idea was that??? Unbalanced conferences, Detroit in the east... Some people have lost their minds - to me at least.

They wanted all the eastern time zone teams in one conference to cut down on travel. That's what caused the unbalanced conferences.The Jets in the southeast was shittier.

<expletive> that shit and the NHL's stupid gimmicks, wildcards lol. I know we want it to be authentic but no one should waste their time on it. I personally don't even care about getting stuff like numbers right. It's about the gameplay itself in the end of the day and everything else is a nice bonus.

Maybe someone can hold a vote. I'd put Wpg in the central or NW and put Nashville in the South East. Nashville is actually closer to Tampa/Florida than Washington I think.

This. I think it's mostly the rosters that matter most to people, so if we can't figure it out, we'll have to deal with it.

Personally I think we should just swap out the teams in the right conferences, assuming that uneven conferences are possible. The wildcard system isn't going to be possible, and come to think of it, do we even have reseeding in the playoffs? Or was that something just left alone?

I can also live with the current schedule. as for Winnipeg, I moved them to Central and I have Nashville in South East (just as Nettles suggested). That did seem a logical move.

I'm ore concerned about what will happen if there will be two expansion teams (let's say Quebec and Seattle). Is it possible to add two teams to NHL?

I also wonder if it would be possible to create a schedule for the current 30 teams NHL where, let's say Chicago plays six games against the teams in the division, four times against the teams in the conference and two times against the teams in the other conference? Nothing important really, it could just be fun if it works.

Any kind of schedule is possible, but I'm afraid we can't add any teams to NHL. As far as I know, the league loader only works with European leagues.
