I've now heard it discussed multiples times across different media outlets. The runaway success of the Canadian division has to force the league's hand here. There is too much money to be made from a Canadian heavy schedule going forward. As Chris Johnston said on the Fan 590 today, "the toothpaste is out of the tube". The league can't give us a taste of this, and maybe more importantly they can't get a taste of the potential interest & revenue spike, and then just go back to the old Atlantic Division next year. It would be madness!
How do they make a Canadian/North work? Especially with an even 32 teams once Seattle joins. Does Buffalo join us? I can't imagine Seattle would, even wit
