The NHL worked in conjunction with the NHLPA to formulate this realignment plan.
"After discussions with the Executive Board, the NHLPA has given consent to realignment, to be re-evaluated following the 2014-15 season," NHLPA Executive Director Donald Fehr said in a statement.
Daly confirmed to NHL.com on Thursday that in the NHL's proposed plan the League will be broken into a two-conference, four-division set up with 16 teams in the Eastern Conference and 14 teams in the Western Conference. The Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets would move to the Eastern Conference and the Winnipeg Jets would move to the Western Conference.
Daly also confirmed that the Stanley Cup Playoffs reportedly will still consist of 16 teams, eight in each conference, but the League is proposing a wild-card system in which the top three teams in each division make the playoffs and the remaining spots are filled by the two teams in each conference with the next most points.
Sieht so aus als würden die Wings endlich wieder im Osten sein
