Gotta love how the Atlantic division has to fly over the entire Metro division to get to two of its teams.
Metro teams: "I don't know why people complain about long travel and crossing timezones. Aren't all teams just a half hour drive away?"

That would be horrible.
Travel is already one of the hurdles the Flames have when trying to lure players. That division alignment would make it much worse. Also, for players where the climate in Calgary is a negative, they could at least look forward to spending time in California and Vegas once in a while. Plus, as a fan, I can't think of too many teams I care less about than the ones in that division. How do get excited about playing St. Louis, Nashville, Minnesota, and Winnipeg all the time? I am only lukewarm on Dallas and Chicago as well. If this is what is going to happen, then I hope the Coyotes stay in Arizona.
I like this suggestion better:
