Ray Canuck Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Has anybody heard if the topic of realignment was brought up during the CBA talks? Thought is was a good idea and was looking forward to it, seems only Fehr was against it for leverage reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I've been wondering that myself. I know the NHLPA turned down the proposal that was tabled last January....all I have read is a potential switch of Detroit and Winnipeg for next season, then maybe a full realignment the following one.

avelanch Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 odds are it was discussed and agreed upon during negotiations, but since it was a separate issue, and not part of the CBA itself then it's not going to be announced until this summer.

Captain Bob Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I was wondering the same. I really liked what they had proposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Apparently, Tom Gaglardi (owner of the Stars) was on Dan Russell last night and indicated that he expected realignment to go through this coming summer, pretty much the way we saw it, but that there may be some changes to the playoffs to be settled on first. Or something like that. I didn't actually hear the interview, I only got the abridged version after the interview was over. From Russell's Twitter... Dallas owner T Gagliardi tells CKNW that he expects NHL realignment to take place next year. And every team to play once in every building!

Boudrias Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Seattle has their NBA team so the NHL will come quickly to Seattle. Just in time as far as I'm concerned as the way the Oilers look Van has to scram to another division! Rather they play in the Pacific anyways for the same time zone and a rival only half an hour away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Latest info: http://espn.go.com/blog/nhl/post/_/id/22010/rest-easy-winnipeg-realignment-is-coming "If all goes well between the NHLPA and NHL -- the two sides are slated to meet again next week -- the NHL could have a realignment framework for the 30 owners to vote on the week of Feb. 25. Similarly, the NHLPA would run the realignment plan past its executive board (30 player reps) for approval. Several team executives and governors contacted by ESPN.com Tuesday were in the dark about what the league was determining for realignment. And just what exactly the league and union have been working on the past two weeks, neither NHL nor NHLPA officials would divulge Tuesday. But it’s believed the framework is a slight variation from the December 2011 realignment format. And when I say variation, I believe there are a couple of teams that have been switched around from the original December 2011 format." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jägermeister Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 They're making this so difficult Winnipeg goes into the Central, Nashville goes to the Southeast. Start with that, atleast it solves the major issue of Winnipeg. If they want to make more dramatic changes after that, they can go ahead and get to work, at least the biggest problem will have been dealt with.

Lockhart Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I want it to stay how it is except obviously move Winnipeg out of the Southeast. Probably swap Winnipeg to the West and Columbus to the East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armada Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 All they have to do is move Nashville to the Southeast and Winnipeg to the Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
