re: NHL East\West Split Opinions,

Like i already stated, the NHL needs to get Florida out of that state as fast as possible. Let them relocate to Utah, Seattle, Portland or Regina. That is really not a hard thing to do. Miami just doesnt need or want an NHL team. I think Utah would be perfect! That would be a natural rival to the Colorado Avalanche. This is the simplest resolution to this problem, but i think the NHL has expansion ideas on the horizon, so that is what i think will ultimately happen.
