I've been wondering this for a while now and thought I'd ask.

If both Seattle and Vegas do end up being the two expansion teams for the NHL, how would they re-align the two western divisions?

Seeing how both cities are in the pacific time zone, you would think they would have to be in the pacific division. Same as the three California teams and Vancouver. So that leaves Calgary, Edmonton, and Arizona.

I take it that would mean Arizona gets moved to the central? Is that fair logistically for them?
