The NHL has tweaked its four-conference realignment proposal and could hand it to the NHLPA in the near future, Hockey Night in Canada’s Elliotte Friedman reports.
Friedman mapped out the following setup during HNIC’s Hot Stove intermission report (teams that changed conferences from the last realignment plan in bold):
Proposed realignment
“Eastern Side”
Conference 1
Carolina Columbus New Jersey New York Islanders New York Rangers Philadelphia Pittsburgh Washington
Conference 2
Boston Buffalo Detroit Florida Montreal Ottawa Tampa Bay Toronto
“Western Side”
Conference 3
Chicago Colorado Dallas Minnesota Nashville St. Louis Winnipeg
Conference 4
Anaheim Calgary Edmonton Los Angeles Phoenix San Jose Vancouver
Word of the possible tweaks surfaced on Feb. 13. At that time, ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun reported that the NHL’s owners could vote on the proposed changes as early as Monday (if all goes well, at least).
We’ll see if that timeline – and a number of other factors – have changed since then.
Keep in mind that this is a report, not an official announcement.
