I suppose its possible teams could go crazy next year for McDavid but up until now its never really been a battle of be the worst.

In that case the NHL doesn't need to copy every stupid thing the NBA does because the NBA is stupid.
For example, I like the fact the NHL has gone back to a divisional playoff system, at least it's something different from the NBA which is a stupid league.
