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?"

If the rumour is true, I think it is a kick in the gonads to the Flames in terms of the quality of competition over the coming years. The Central teams are almost all on the upswing, where as the Pacific (outside of ANA & SJ) are pretty much what they are or soon to decline. It will be harder to compete in the Central IMO.
Proposed division:
-Dallas - elite and holding
-Nashville - retooling and on the upswing
-St Louis - retooling and on the upswing
-Chicago - rebuilding and on the upswing
-Minnesota- retooling and on the upswing
-Winnipeg - middling & holding
-Edmonton = no good
Versus:
-Vancouver - middling & holding
-Seattle - middling & holding
-San Jose - rebuilding and on the upswing
-Anaheim - rebuilding and on the upswing
-LA - middling & on the decline
-AZ/SLC - rebuilding and on the upswing
-Vegas - elite & on the decline?
-Edmonton = still no good
