Straight win/losses. 3 points for a win would be my second choice. Keeping ties would be my 3rd choice.
The current system is the worst possible system that could ever be imagined, and I still can't believe it wasn't laughed away for its ridiculousness when it was originally proposed.
It is unfathomable that the powers that be can't see anything wrong with having an incentive to play for ties. As the games get more meaningful, they should be the most exciting, instead they are dull as everyone plays for a tie.
Take away the OTL, and no one plays for OT, and there are less shootouts, therefore. the shootout becomes less meaningful in the standings.
