NHL Realignment

Blue&Gold · 02-07-2018, 03:49 PM

I expanded the NHL by 1 team in 2020, giving Seattle the new Franchise. I placed them in the Pacific Division, thinking I could move Calgary and Edmonton to the Central. Could not figure it out though. Is it possible to realign divisions/conferences on July 1 each year? Did I just miss it? Thanks for any help!

It's not possible to move teams, sorry.

I would like this and more expansion but can this be done before FHM5?

Well, we're not talking a lot about FHM5 yet because we're still hard at work on FHM4. It's something on the list, but it may or may not be something that goes done this next year.

As for more expansion - you can go to 36 teams. The problem is you start diluting a lot of the talent pool if you go further than that. Even adding 5 more teams essentially adds roughly 250 new players to the NHL/AHL....and that's got big effects across every league.
