Since you only play teams not in your conference twice a year (home and away) and not in your division 3 times, this won't work at all.
For example, if you want Calgary to play any eastern team its two game series back to back, it would be a lot of travel for both. You'd end up having a series of 1 game road trips throughout the season. It would make team travel all the time.
In baseball, teams play 3-4 game series to alleviate travel. In hockey, the opposite happens.

In the NHL you would actually be setting up a system of two home games/two road games with a back to back to series. For example. Philly at Calgary, Calgary at Philly then Calgary at Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh at Calgary. Pittsburgh would go onto another Western city (Edomnton) and someone else would roll into Calgary. It could be interesting.
