Finally. Someone has some sense here. There shouldn't be any agreement unless a contingency plan is part of it or everyone knows what's happening in Phoenix. This all becomes pointless if we're fitting Quebec City back into the East. Although, in the 90s, no one had a problem with an emergency realignment to make sure the Avalanche weren't in the Eastern Conference, for any amount of time.
That was a move across two time zones. Atlanta to Winnipeg is one thing, Quebec/Colorado or Phoenix/Quebec are much different.
I would imagine, like everything else, this realignment plan will be discussed until the last possible hour. When the schedule for next year has to be finished, whenever that is exactly, that's when we'll know what's going on. Until then, the league and PA get to...drum roll...negotiate.
