Vote: Name the proposed new NHL divisions

With the NHL pushing forward with plans to realign the league into four new divisions, we want to know how you would name the new groupings.

First, take a look at how the teams will potentially be organized, as per the NHL's newest proposal.

Now that you know who is going where, let's give you some options for how to name the new divisions:

Classics

What should the new NHL divisions be named?

This would mean ditching the current geographic division names in favour of what used to be the norm in the NHL from 1974 until 1993, when the league moved to the regional groupings we see today.

That means the Adams, Patrick, Norris and Smythe division names would return, mixing in a bit of tradition to the new shift the league is taking.

'New' classics

This concept follows the "classic" example, but with a slight twist. Why not invoke the names of luminaries in the NHL's more recent history to headline each division?

For example, the Howe, Orr, Gretzky and Lemieux divisions.

Geographic

Since the league is still split into Western and Eastern conferences under the proposal, it may still make sense to continue to name divisions according to regional barriers.

However, under the new proposal, it may not make sense to consider Boston, Tampa Bay and Florida "Central" rather than "Atlantic" teams, so some creative naming may need to be considered here.
