Travel?! Are you serious? It's not like there's any fairness to the way travel is now. It looked to me like the new format might even reduce travel.

In addition to what I wrote above about this issue, I think the Players Association is also sending a message in advance of negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement. Both sides are posturing: the League's refusal to provide a sample schedule is a part, as is the NHLPA's refusal to okay a reasonable realignment.
