What does everyone else think of ESPN's proposition? They suggested to cut the league down by 8 teams, keep only the northern teams and make conferences American and Canadian (11 teams apiece).
Honestly, I think it would be a bad idea as far as promoting ice hockey goes (hence probably why they won't do it), but as far as competitiveness goes, it's a great idea. I was in Anaheim for the 2006 series and NOBODY in Los Angeles gave a **** about it. Not only, but it certainly improves competitiveness within divisions.
