Again, that isn't what is best for the league as a whole. Plenty of big market draws in the east but not so much in the west. There are established rivalries with Detroit-Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, sort of Vancouver, used to be Colorado, Dallas and all those teams that don't enjoy a lot of rivals that mobilize the fans would be losing big time with Detroit going east. Who cares if it is best for Detroit? What matters is what is best for the league.
