Congrats to NHL West teams. With the NHLPA saying yes to realignment, you will have a 7% better chance of making playoffs than East teams.

Wrong. 57% chance is 14% better than a 50% chance.

An average team in the West will make the playoffs 4 years out of 7, whereas average in the East gets you in 4 years out of 8. There's nothing wrong with this line of thinking. It's unbalanced. I'm not complaining, since the Flames are in the West, but I don't see how the Eastern teams or their players could have signed off on this plan.
