Professional sports is truly a business. Each league does what needs to be done in order to make additional money. The NHL is no different. Starting next season each NHL team will be divided into 4 different conferences. Each team will play conference opponents 3 times at home and 3 times away. Each team will play at least 1 home and home series with the rest of the league. Realignment is mainly based on geographic mapping, which eliminates long travel for the most part. Excellent for the fans they will have the chance to see each NHL team come to their home arena at least once. Maybe even travel to see their team on the road, one example would be a conference that features Philadelphia and Pittsburgh or another conference that features Los Angeles and Anaheim.
