Yup, I love the old divisional system being back. Best way to build rivalries.
One area where the NBA did it better than the NHL was in their playoff format for division winners. If you win your division, it guarantees you a playoff spot. But that's it. If you win your division but had less points than the 8th playoff seed, you become the 8th playoff seed. So much better than the SE winner being 3rd every year. But of course the new divisional playoff format has minimized that problem now anyway..
