Divisional play isn't (competely) about proximity of travel. It's how rivalries and interest are created.

Division winners win automatic berts to the playoffs. You should have to play your division the most to win the berth. Not to the extremes that we've seen, particularly with the advent of the WC, but I think divisional play is important.
