Sounds like the league is becoming a bit of a clusterfvck. Nashville runs on central time so you would think they would be the last to head east, but they also would fit best in the south. Columbus is the least desirable but that also makes them the easiest to move. Detroit is going to cause the most commotion. It would be better for the team to be east, no long road trips out west, easier competition (IMO) but it would also, as the article notes, piss off a lot of west teams.
Us or Columbus moving east would cause such an issue with the division alignment while Winnipeg would fit right in to the central division or if not an easy swap with Minnesota could happen. Problem is no other teams fit into the southeast division.
Should be interesting to watch this all unfold.

I wonder if they will incorporate an expansion year into the near future.

Dont think so there are a good 3 to 4 teams in the US that will move north in near future starting with The Coyotes after next season.

Read kovalchuk but thought evander Kane.
Also I'm not so sure the coyotes will be moving. The situation seems that the city is really trying to keep them there along with hullsenheimrfmanberg or whoever is buying them. I can see the panthers moving. They do have a bright future a few years from now with all of their draft pics along with their management. Clearly, as of now, they are the biggest joke in the league.

Making it even MOAR official...wham bam...
TRUE NORTH REACHES 13,000 SEASON TICKET GOAL IN WINNIPEG
It didn't take long for the fans of Winnipeg to throw their financial support behind their NHL team.
True North Sports and Entertainment reached their goal of selling 13,000 season tickets shortly after tickets went on sale to the general public on Saturday.
"The success of the campaign is a key ingredient to ensuring the sustainability and long-term viability of NHL hockey in this province," said Jim Ludlow, President & CEO, True North Sports & Entertainment. "We look forward to seeing everyone this Fall at MTS Centre for opening night of regular season NHL hockey in Winnipeg."
Up until Saturday, only season ticket holders of the former Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League could purchase season ticket packages. Over 7,000 season tickets were scooped up by Moose fans before the general public made up the difference in a matter of minutes on Saturday.
The team is now compiling a waiting list for fans still looking for season tickets.
