Great Lakes:
Cleveland, Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Cincinnati
And bring in the Syracuse region.
Would this be an okay fallback for the Blue Jackets franchise?
Western Coyotes:
Take Phoenix. Bring in Seattle and Kansas City.
Places like Houston and OKC in the future.
Southern:
Nashville and Atlanta for now.
Maybe Southern Eagles or Predators.
Obviously I'm not a well-rounded critiquer concerning the state of hockey franchises, but personally I'd move the Islanders to the Great Lakes brand and camps. I'd share Nashville with Atlanta for the Southern Brand and share Arizona with Seattle and Portland with considerations for others for the Western brand (like Houston and Las Vegas).

Florida Panthers can be ridiculous. Co-Locate the Team. Rebrand. Southlakes Fisherman. #NHLExpansion
As posts go on, you can see how I've evolved to choose Austin over Houston for the next Texas team on the ice.
