If anything, no more divisions...just two conferences where the top eight make the playoffs and all 15 teams play a similar schedule.

It is getting a lot more confusing and your simple switch does make sense.

4x5=20 or 4x6=24
10x3=30
15x2=30

and that equals 80 or 84 games.

I don't know about 16 teams agreeing to this 4 division alignment mess. The Avs like playing teams in the Central timezone plus less appearances by Detroit and Chicago coming out west is not good.
