However the first playoff tiebreaker now becomes shootout wins. So each game has a "winner", but each game after OT ends up pretty much a tie in the standings. You also make each game worth the same 2 points, and now you don't have to worry about records being skewed by going to a 3 point system.

That would make the shootout pretty much meaningless, why should fans watch it? Might as well get rid of the shootout and bring back ties. I wouldn't have a problem with that.
