if kc and winnipeg werew the two franchises added, while i agree with most of your divisions, i'd change it up a little bit.
WEST CONFERENCE -
NorthWest:
Calgary
Edmonton
Vancouver
Winnipeg
geographically this div. has to be, set up perfectly with old rivalries, plus new that could really blossom.
SouthWest:
Anaheim
Los Angeles
Phoenix
San Jose
see above, another must if expansion were to occur again
Central:
Colorado
Dallas
Kansas City
St. Louis
here's where it gets tricky. chose st louis over minnesota because of the proximity to KC more than anything. keeps with how the divisions have been setting up thus far.
MidWest:
Chicago
Columbus
Detroit
Minnesota
see above. only difference between choosing minnesota over st louis was if i chose north or south, considering the location of the other 3 teams i chose to go north.
EAST CONFERENCE -
NorthEast:
Buffalo
Montreal
Ottawa
Toronto
must have in terms of location. really boston/buffalo could be switched, and my thought process going in would still pretty well stay in tact
New England:
Boston
NJ
NYI
NYR
see above, when i chose the name New England for the div. i immediately thought of boston, which is why i chose them over buffalo originally.
Atlantic:
Carolina
Philladelphia
Pittsburgh
Washington
location location location. enough said.
SouthEast:
Atlanta
Florida
Nashville
Tampa Bay
while nashville seems far from florida, on the map it's relatively the same distance as raleigh from atlanta, that's the only major reason i chose nashville to be moved rather than columbus.
