SaucyJack Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 2 hours ago, thegx.ca said: Add up to 36 I say...even 9 per division Of course, it means a new formula of how often one plays each team in one’s division, in the other division in your conference, and the other conference. Several choices to make, including whether to only play some teams in the other conference once. I disagreed with 32 being perfect as far as playoff achievement. NFL and MLB still only allow less than half to qualify for postseason, despite expanding those fields in recent years. (I.e., 16 in, 20 out, is OK in my view.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah less than half should ever make the playoffs can't ever go over 16 making post season in my opinion...as for regular season schedule gotta make it simple that every team has to see every opponent at least once per regular season and the further the travel less the see of search other but ok less travel time means seeing more of those teams and same East vs West Cup finals but the divisions can simply be NW/SW and NE/SE...

There is still talk of expansion. KC and Quebec City often mentioned. Baseball also. Vegas likely and Nashville seems certain. I’m wondering if western Canada would consider a baseball team? I’m sure you are in a foul mood after last nights result. I see Vancouver overcame a three goal deficit? So once again it seems Edmonton could use an upgrade in the nets?
