I’d agree with this. Winning the division just seems somewhat insignificant for a banner raising. The division could be weaker, the divisions are fairly small, four teams get to raise one every year, etc.
Having the best record in the entire league, making it to the finals, and winning the Cup are all significant accomplishments. Division champions just seems like a way to add significance to the divisions themselves. I think it’d make a little more sense if they played the majority of games in-division.
