Yeah. The "OMG, some teams in our division are very good right now, so we'll never sniff the playoffs ever again" is a rather bizarre line of thinking. It is reminiscent of that St. Louis Post Dispatch writer (Jeff Gordon?) who said the Flames would never make the playoffs ever again, about two years before we made them five years in a row.
Anyway, looking at the map, I realized that the divisions are pretty much aligned for an expansion run to Hamilton and Quebec City. If the league does go down that route, Tampa and Florida are easily switched to that Central Division with Colorado sliding to the Pacific.
