The NHLPA has given it's consent to go forward with the NHL proposed realignment.

The NHL will stay in two conferences, East and West, but break into two divisions per conference starting next season.

The Rangers division will include the Islanders, Penguins, Flyers, Devils, Hurricanes, Capitals and Blue Jackets.

Donald Fehr said in a statement that the players will re-evaluate realignment after the 2014-15 season.
