NHL Realignment

So the NHL is set to do a re-alignment with Winnipeg in a central time zone-ish conference. This is probably the best solution, but I think they should bring back the conference names. I miss the old division names like Smyth division, Adams division, Patrick division, and Norris divisions. And the Wales and Campbell conferences rather than the Eastern and Western conferences. It just sounded classier.

I suppose they could go an updated route and instead of old owners they can name the new conferences after the greatest players of all time. Thus the Gretzky Conference with Edmonton and LA and the rest, perhaps the Hull Conference with Winnipeg and Chicago and so forth, the Richard conference with Montreal (or the Orr conference? I dunno!), and.. perhaps the Lemieux conference. It kind of works out nicely.

Conference A	Conference B	Conference C	Conference D
Anaheim	Chicago	Boston	Carolina
Calgary	Columbus	Buffalo	New Jersey
Colorado	Dallas	Florida	N.Y. Islanders
Edmonton	Detroit	Montreal	N.Y. Rangers
Los Angeles	Minnesota	Ottawa	Philadelphia
Phoenix	Nashville	Tampa Bay	Pittsburgh
San Jose	St. Louis	Toronto	Washington
Vancouver	Winnipeg
