Continuing with the Red Wings' Western burden and a six division league. Detroit stays in the Central (whoever you want goes to the Southeast, and for instance Dallas to Central, Winnipeg to Northwest, Colorado to Pacific or something like that).
But the whole Central Division plays only three times against every other team in the Northwest and Pacific. Instead the Central teams play an extra game against the Northeast and Southeast teams (in total 10 less games against Western teams and 10 more games against Eastern teams). The Atlantic Division keeps the current schedule while the Northeast and Southeast teams only face eachother three times. Also the Northwest and Pacific teams play eachother five times instead of four.
This gives Detroit (and the other Central teams) five less away-games in the West. Enough to make the Red Wings happy?
I have also been thinking about a format where the Central becomes a six-team division (Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Minnesota, Nashville, St. Louis) and the Northwest becomes a four-team division (four Canadian teams) but I haven't figured out a good scheduling format yet.
