There's a reason ties were removed from the NHL. Plus as a whole, teams are fairly balanced. How many games went to SO last season? Those would all become ties, and that would be a lot. What's the benefit in having ties? There isn't any gain or benefit in it. The only people it benefit are the teams that cannot beat their opponent, but hold on enough to not officially lose. That's reward failure moreso than success. The NHL should be getting out of that mindset.

A tie is an achievement. The other team couldn't beat you.
