I've heard that the Red Wings have asked to move to the East, but that would be AWFUL for balance (both competitively and in terms of fan bases). The Eastern Conference is already heavy with 4 Original Six teams plus the teams with the league's top 2 superstars (Crosby in Pittsburgh and Ovechkin in Washington) along with another great fan base in Philly. In contrast, Detroit and Chicago are really the only 2 national draws at all in the Western Conference. Granted, I'm a Blackhawks fan that would absolutely hate seeing Chicago and Detroit split up, but it would make a ton more sense for Nashville to replace Atlanta in the Southeast Division (seeing that, you know, Nashville is actually in the Southeast). Winnipeg could then go to the Northwest Division and then Minnesota could move to the Central.
