Sure but I don't think Calgary needs to play all 16 Eastern teams every year. Maybe 8 one year and 8 the next. Then the other 8 Eastern teams can come to Calgary one year, 8 the next.

Extra divisional games made the NHL awful, not to mention the terrible playoff format we have now would be overkill.

The building dates are the same, just different opponents. Not that drastic. Take the 8 extra games above and add one division game (7) and one rivalry game (Edmonton). You're trying to lessen travel and playing back to backs.
