I think it would likely fall to Detroit's decision, and Ilitch would be crazy not to moved the Red Wings East. Look at the travel the Wings have to do now, especially with this new schedule format of Conference play.
Wings have been around forever, so it should fall to them to make a decision.
So, if the Wings move East, then they go into the Northeast with Buffalo, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa.
Boston moves to the Atlantic with NYR, NYI, NJ, and Philly.
SE stays the same.
And depending on where they move in the West, Minny might move to the Central or Dallas might move to the Central.
But, I do believe that it should be Detroit's call because they've been in the league so long.
