Other conference - 16 home games (1 and 1)
Other division - 8 home games (1 and 1)
Own division - 14 home games (2 and 2)
That leaves 3 home and 3 away games - would you rather have those be rotational against the other division in the conference? Or have some divisional opponents be 6 gamers? I think those extra games being rotational in the other division makes the most sense. So...
Other conference: 16 home games
Other division: 11 home games
Own division: 14 home games

The extra games should definitely be against the same division.

We had this and everyone hated it. It was terrible. No one wants to see their division opponents this often, especially if it's Minny or Arizona. And then only see the EC stars once every two years.
