Familiarity breeds contempt. My preference is for a full interlocking schedule. And keep the crossover. That way only the best teams make the post season based on straight up competition. If the East remains weak (likely as they have the expansion team) than they will only put 2 team's in the playoffs. I don't want to play Hamilton 4 times because the rivalry will get watered down. Team's already travel so the budgets are already in place.
