That would be silly. A Central Division that stretched from Colorado to Quebec City would be ridiculous.

If it comes to that, they should just buy off the Blue Jackets to convince them that life in the West wasn't so bad. Instead of every team getting $33.33 million from a billion dollar expansion pot, have 29 teams take $33 million and give Columbus $43 million to return to the West, with a promise of a return to the East when the opportunity presents itself.
