From a regular season point of view, it's the whole point of having a wildcard.

It might not be an oversight, but it's dumb, and should be fixed. If Anaheim was leading the conference (because it affects west coast the most) imagine having to travel to Winnipeg(for instance) instead of Phoenix, while LA and San Jose are playing eachother.
Come round 2, Anaheim could be at a disadvantage against either of the others!
