How are you going to do playoffs with three conferences?

What's the point of starting new rivalries when you're seperating in-state rivals like Pitts/Philly... you're splitting up ones that are starting to heat up like Boston/Toronto, Buffalo/Boston.... not to mention TO/MTL, OTT/TO.

What's the problem with just swapping Nashville for Winnipeg as it is now?
