One small thing to remember is that if 3-on-3 is brought in, that extends the overtime period that an offensive player can get on the scoresheet (since of course the shootout doesn't count towards points stats). More time and more open ice to create plays.

While not a huge change, I have a feeling that could give the more offensive guys like Gaudreau an extra 3-5 points a year. It might get a few more NHLers just a bit closer to 40-50 goals as well.
