Interesting to note, he also says that if Atlanta were to be moved to Winnipeg for next season the NHL Board of Governors doesn’t have time to vote on division re-alignment for next year and they would stay in the East. A vote would then be held for the 2012-13 season. For Illegal Curve’s take on division realignment, see our post here [...]

Very cool visuals. Love the site.

Minneosta to the Central and Wpg into the NW is what will happen. If it is the Coyotes moving, I would think Colorado makes the move to the Pacific.

Will be interested to see how this all plays out.
