Did the NHL make a mess of the 2009-10 schedule?

The upcoming schedule was released yesterday. Right away I noticed something interesting. Florida has a home and home series with Nashville.
Nov 28 and Mar 29 are when the Panthers and Predators play next season.
What I find interesting is- Florida is playing Nashville home and home for the second straight season. In 2008-09, the Panthers and Predators played on November 1st and December 23rd.
In light of the way the NHL season is set up, namely that any Eastern or Western conference team plays only play 3 home and homes in any season, Florida and Nashville shouldn’t meet home and home more than once every five years 15 western conference teams divided by 3 home and home series equals five.
Here’s a link to the 2009-10 schedule. Anyone have theories as to what happened here or am I off base?
- NHL owners approve scheduling changes
- Homecoming- Goaltender Tomas Vokoun returns to Nashville
- Nashville Predators trade Goalie Chris Mason to St. Louis
- Miami Dolphins keep losing, but fans keep watching
- NHL: No changes to schedule, playoffs
- Sharks Defeat Predators, Advance to 2nd Round
- Florida Panthers lose their sixth in a row
- Florida Panthers- Even more pain
