The National Hockey League is a step closer to having a different look next season.
NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr announced in a press release Thursday the players' union wants to go forward with the league's realignment plan for the 2013-14 campaign.
"After discussions with the executive board, the NHLPA has given consent to realignment, to be re-evaluated following the 2014-15 season," Fehr said in a statement.
The next step will be approval from the NHL's Board of Governors. NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly confirmed as much in a release.

The problem with this is Columbus being in Pitt's and Wash's division is to attract more fans to the games. Columbus doesn't really have a super star to sell and so if they have Crosby, Malkin or Ovechkin coming to their stadium 6 times a year you can probably sell tickets.
As for Tampa and Fla. I believe they are also in the Leafs, and Habs division to sell tickets. You have a lot of people heading down to Florida for vacation to escape the winter and to take in a hockey. This I believe is also so those two teams can sell tickets.
Really though, absolutely nothing. Maybe we'll bring back the betting system if the forum starts getting more traffic, and I used to pass credits out like candy in the Graphics Forum whenever people would post their work.
