Seattle team is a GO for 2021

With Seattle coming in, the NHL should go to a different playoff format.

It would work great with eight divisions of four teams each (four in each conference). Four division winners get the top four seeds in each conference and then there are four wild cards.

Divisions would work nicely as:

WEST

1. Seattle, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary

2. San Jose, Los Angeles, Anaheim, Vegas

3. Arizona, Colorado, Dallas, Nashville

4. Winnipeg, Minnesota, Chicago, St. Louis

EAST

1. Florida, Tampa Bay, Carolina, Washington

2. Columbus, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia

3. Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Boston

4. Buffalo, NY Rangers, NY Islanders, New Jersey

 

Play each team in your division six times = 18 games

Play each team in one other division in your conference four times = 16 games (division would rotate on a three-year cycle like the NFL).

Play every other team in the league twice = 48 games

Total: 82 games

 

Seems to make too much sense not to work for me. Thoughts?
