Yeah I read that...and glad they are working to avoid it.
I hated the last time the Pens/Flyers weren't in the same division without those rivalries it didn't feel the same. Kind of what happened with the Capitals left the Patrick Division.
Why ruin great rivalries again?
If they do this and the Penguins lose out they would be crazy to not keep Detroit with Chicago. If not that division wouldn't have the drawing power, not meaning the fans of the teams (most are good) but the star power of the teams.
The other part is this change might bury teams like Florida and Phoenix which would force them to have to move and cause another realignment.
