One of the most fun things for Nashville Predators about the NHL adding teams is the opportunity to speculate on realignment. There’s always some pretty crazy options floated out there. Websites are full of NHL realignment ideas. ESPN wanted Nashville to go East one time, which would certainly be interesting.
The reality probably won’t be quite as interesting. Sportsnet’s Chris Johnston reported this week that the NHL’s plan for realignment is pretty simple. Seattle would begin play in the Pacific Division while the Arizona Coyotes would move over to the Central & become the division’s eighth team.
