Always wondered why they're not in the East, I mean aren't the conferences essentially organized according to the geographical location of the teams?
Tell me what team in the East is closer to the West than Nashville.
Why would anyone move out of the conference when Seattle joins?It is the team that prob moves when Seattle joins the west.
Brain fart thought the west was the one with an extra team. It’s not lol.Why would anyone move out of the conference when Seattle joins?
The point wasn't that there is a team that is closer to the west than Nashville, it's that Nashville is located further East than any other Western team.

So you want 17 teams in the East, and 14 teams in the West?
Got it.
Because they are in the central time zone and didn't want all their road games to be too early for their fans to watch... needing time to get home from work and all. Allowed Detroit, an eastern time zone team to go east.Always wondered why they're not in the East, I mean aren't the conferences essentially organized according to the geographical location of the teams?
Unlucky that they are a central time zone team playing in the central division?Nashville is the most western team that is in the east. The west has to contend with multilabel time zones while eastern team don't when playing within conference. Nashville is just unlucky that they are the most eastern team in the west.
The Western Conference has to cover three different time zones, while the Eastern Conference only covers one. Not sure why, but I get a kick out of that. At least it's still not as wonky as the NFL geography divisions.
I mean it's just a matter of where the primary population resides. North America is not equally dispersed in terms of population across the land, most people reside on the East coast (especially hockey interested people). It'd be unreasonable to expect equity in terms of conference balance, travel, and time given the natural way our continent is developed.The Western Conference has to cover three different time zones, while the Eastern Conference only covers one.

Nope. Once Seattle lands, it could be 15/17.

None of them are East.one western conference team has to be the furthest east.
