If this season doesn’t make fans stand up and shout for more “in division” rivalry games, I don’t know what will.
Looking forward to it.

I am also looking forward to the season. The reason for my reply, though, is this:
I thoroughly enjoyed when the division and conferences were named after figures from the game's past. Patrick, Adams, Norris, and Smythe. Campbell and Wales.
Given the re-aligned divisions this year, the NHL has an opportunity to bring back those names...if only briefly. It would be a nice touch of nostalgia before time marches on and we're watching the (insert corporate name here) Cup Finals.
