each team is too many. As a fan, I also feel somewhat "disconnected" from the rest of the league. I've tried to keep up with the rest of the divisions, but it takes a lot of time to watch VGK games, so it's hard to stay up with the other teams when you don't see them at all.
The Canadian division was a fun concept, but otherwise this alignment has really hurt the league as a whole. I'm really tired of seeing the Golden Knights play the Kings, Ducks, Sharks, Avs, etc. Tonight is the eighth and final game against the Kings. It feels like far more than that.
It's impossible to really measure how good any teams are (kind of reminds me of college sports this year. It was tough to tell how good teams were because conferences were only playing each other).
