Not necessarily an easier division. Montreal and Boston are two of the top teams in the East and Toronto is a playoff team. Tampa Bay has star power with Stamkos and Ottawa has Karlsson. And for the time being Chicago gets one less team to compete with in their division, so they get an "advantage" as well.
I see the Wings fading over the next several years but I still wouldn't want to give up that rivalry. Winnipeg, Colorado, Minnesota, Dallas in the Hawks division? Gayyyyyy
Not to mention the playoff teams will be reseeded to where the East will Play the West in the playoffs potentially. There could be two Western Conference teams in the Stanley Cup Finals..........thats lame
Meh, the playoff streak will end sometime, but dropping out of relevancy? Yeah I don't see it. There are too many smart people running the Wings to let that happen.
think i would rather have Chicago move to the Eastern conference than Detroit. would love to see the Blackhawks multiple times per year. Detroit will lose their relavancy playing in a stronger conference
It was a hell of a game. I'm happy with the way the Wings played but giving the Hawks a break like that after playing so well defensively is frustrating.
that new move jay mentioned is dumb. you can't have an unbalanced league like that. if they wanna do that then they need to create 2 new teams to put in the western conference
