If you think about it, Eastern swings can actually be accomplished by one or two road trips, significantly reducing travel time for all teams.

Ahhh...right you are, i was going full NFL there where it is every 4.
Still though. you would have a hard time convincing them that its OK to parade McContagious through New York and Toronto every other year only. The NHL loves its marquee match up between names after all...and rightfully so as it matters for them.
Im personally not opposed to your lay out at all because of the amount of times teams play the "hate" games. It was awesome back through the 80's when Cgy/Edm would play 8 times a year and every single game was must view because SOMETHING was going to happen.
