Well, back before Buttman, there was the Wales and Campbell conferences. And Buttman in all his infinite wisdom (lulz), decided that the league should have geographical divisions/conferences based on location. Some teams are still in certain conferences mainly because of rivilaries. Which is why the Penguins are still in the Atlantic (the whole Philly/Pittsburgh state rivialry), even though they are in Western Pennsylvania.
However, if there ever happens to be an addition of new teams or to balance out teams, Detroit has some sort of stipulation that will allow them to move to the East.
>31420 Toronto was still in the West due to the renaming of the conferences, but moved like, 5 years later, after teams were added to the west.
