The NHL has been trying for weeks to tinker with its schedule configuration, but is now considering a significant overhaul of the face of the league that includes realignment and a reduction in the number of divisions from six to four.

Nothing is carved in stone at this point, but the NHL is floating an aggressive trial balloon to its governors for consideration. Earlier this week, six club executives, (a mix of governors, teams presidents and GMs), representing the six current divisions met in New York with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and brainstormed to produce a new-look alignment and schedule that they're taking back to other clubs in their respective divisions for feedback.

the photo TSN uses in this piece is a classic "Who Me?" look by Bettman.

I will agree with that. It was done to generate more interest. Well, no new interest, so let's go back. Although what will my Hurricanes' Southeast Division be called? Brind'Amour Division sounds good. Or the Francis Division!

    Overall, I guess I'm in favor of anything they think will help hockey. That being said, I HATE this new schedule. We played Washington something like 6 times in the past few weeks. Last night we had our only meeting of the season (and the next few) with Anaheim. I really don't see these 'rivalries' being created, but I am really sick of seeing Florida and Atlanta all the time.
