Seattle to be team #32

Post by DelPen »

Arizona moving to the central. Starting play in 2021. Same expansion rules as Vegas.

There is an opportunity to make 8 four team divisions and have some fun with playoff matchups.

Seattle Sasquatch!!! That would be a great name.

Like the realignment with Arizona moving to the central. With Arizona you never know if that team is going to sink or swim. They might be forced to relocate. Would be super easy for them to move to Houston and fit right into their new division.

Always liked the idea of the divisions being their own confrences. top 4 from each conference make the playoffs. once you got the final 4 they are re-seeded by points and play to the finals. In theory you could have Boston vs New York, or a LA vs Chicago final.
