As I had mentioned in the BoH threads, the league needs 20 votes to make a change. In the West you have 15 of 16 teams (15 west + Winnipeg) that would support a 6 division alignment that breaks up "the 10" in the Northeast and Atlantic. All of the Southeast would likely be convinced as well (bringing it to 19 teams) so it would only take a single defector from the Northeast/Atlantic (say...Pittsburgh) to have enough votes. As much as these supposed "insiders" talk about a straight swap, there's almost no way that happens. At minimum, you will have Dallas moved to the central.
