There are interesting potential rivalries between CBJ and Detroit and CBJ and Chicago. Needs more time to develop. Moving to the southeast would be rather short sighted. Bottom line, I wish they would also scrap the divisions though and just play two conferences, top 8 in each conference make the playoffs. It solves a lot of problems (the 3rd seed is often weak) and makes expansion (not that I endorse any more of that) or relocation simpler. God I hope the CBJ can put a good team on the ice next season...Nathannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-39431216506580562712011-05-20T21:29:46.055-04:002011-05-20T21:29:46.055-04:00Nashville is closer to the Florida team's, we&...Nashville is closer to the Florida team's, we're closer to the Canes and Caps, plus we're in the same time zone. It may sound like the Preds are a better fit (Blue Jackets in the South?), but it's not that clearcut.pete goegannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-47875489677401914342011-05-20T15:42:50.106-04:002011-05-20T15:42:50.106-04:00Too many people saying the deal is not done to bel...Too many people saying the deal is not done to believe that it is. I think it will happen, just not sure when.<br /><br />What happens to the CBJ? The dispatch originally said they would be going to the East, which meant that it was NOT going to happen, based on declarations from that paper. Now they are falling back from that position, most likely so they can say they got it right no matter what happens. <br /><br />While I would like a move to the east, if anyone joins the southeast, I see it being Nashville, as they are closer geographically then we are.<br /><br />We just need to be careful what we wish for. With our dwindling attendance, can you imagine Buffalo and Pittsburgh taking over our building twice a year.

But the NHL doesn't want to say anything yet because they want to figure out what they're doing with the whole conference situation. Once they find out what they're going to do, and hopefully that means CBJ to the Southeast, they'll announce everything at once.Trevorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808919639113592690noreply@blogger.com
