The problem with this alignment is Dallas would object to it. They would be the only team in the Central time zone and scheduling would be a mess, and it makes it tough for their fans to follow when most of their road games are on the west coast and a two hour time difference away. This was one of the factors the league took into consideration during the last re-alignment.

He also forgot about Chicago, so to answer Heavy Jack's question, no we would not switch divisions in that scenario. Dallas stays in the Central, and we stay in the Pacific with Edmonton.
Though if the NDP follows through on the idiotic proposal to breakaway from the rest of the country (that matters) and live in CST year round, we're going to find ourselves in an ugly spot timezone wise ourselves. Road trips to half our division would be 9PM starts locally for most of the season.
