2010 - 2011 NHL Thread

All the information that I've heard so far says that they're not going to realign the divisions this year. Winnipeg will be in the Southeast for one season, and they're going to take proposals from a bunch of teams who will need to justify why they should be the team to move to the East. Places like Detroit and Columbus really want to be in the East due to the time differences and travel distance right now.

They also need to wait to see if anything happens with Phoenix, which still has a very good chance of moving. The most likely place would be Quebec City, but they don't have a new arena yet and likely won't for a few years.

I think the plan is to eventually have Winnipeg in the Northwest with Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Minnesota.
