2 things I've always wanted to see;
1. The non-playoff teams each have an equal chance at any pick in the draft between 1 through 14. Teams would have no incentive to tank.
2. No conferences, no divisions. A straight 1-30 ranking and the top 16 make the playoffs. This protects against uneven conferences and relocation. The schedule would be geographically based as it is now. I think it makes for more interesting playoff matches and any 2 teams can meet in the finals, imagine one day a MTL-TOR or CGY-EDM final!
