On the plus side they would get higher ratings from rivalry match-ups with CGY, EDM and VAN, and likely more appearances on HNiC. The tradeoff being greater travel and more 8pm and 9pm start times.

Reading archives from the Hockey News, the Jets were unhappy when they were moved out of the Norris Division. They never did like the late start times by being in the old Smythe Division, just like the Stars do not like being in the Pacific Division. They liked playing the North Stars for geographical reasons as well as three Original Six teams.
