i think it should be cut back to twenty teams....
10 Canadian teams, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Quebec, Hamilton, and somewhere in Sask.??...
10 united states teams, Detroit, New york, Philly, New Jersey, Chicago, Boston, Colorado, Tampa, Dallas, St.Louis...
Instead of East and West Conferences, have Canadian and American Conferences....
keep the same playoff format, except the division winners will be 1st and 2nd instead of 1st 2nd and 3rd...
