I would still keep the East-West divisions. 1-8, 1-8. 

It would suck for say Tampa Bay to get first overall and have to travel to Vancouver, a 16 seed. Then the might play Pittsburgh who played against New York or Buffalo in the first round. 

West teams have enough travel already.

    As good as the Jets are right now, the idea of adding at the deadline is one thing but getting Trouba and Lowry back would essentially be the two best "additions" they could make this time of year.

    Money well spent considering he was a big part of a solid D corp that helped get the team where it is now.  If he has a long term injury, they can move the money to LTIR moving forward and insurance k

Here's the playoff seeding in 1980.  Imagine if the NHL went back to this format....Winnipeg might play Pittsburgh in Round One.  How screwy would that be...

Tough times in their rental jets with lazy boy seats.

The actual travel is comfortable.  But the time change and sitting on a plane every day probably isnt the best use of their time. Jets/Wild first round would be great for that reason.  I hate when I see people hoping for a specific match up though...bad karma.  We'll face who we face.

Why is it bad to want a certain matchup? Rivalries within the division/conference are fun, especially in the post-season.

And you know karma isn't a thing, right...?

The New Jets have played one playoff series and we're still feeling the effects of the rivalry that was created. There is still heat between the Jets and Ducks. 

Rivalries are overrated. 

But, I agree, karma is not a real thing.
