Split up the O6 teams. Everyone gets a taste of real hockey.
East: NYI, NJ, Phi, Was
Central: Ott, Buf, Pit, Clb
West: SJ, LA, Ana, Phx
East: Car, TB, Fla, Nas
Central: StL, Dal, Min, Wpg
West: Van, Edm, Cal, Col
Det, Bos, Mtl, Tor, NYR, and Chi all rotate from one division to the next every year. Only no team can be in the western divisions two years in a row.
