I think it is the best, and most entertaining option. It reduces the impact of Shootouts because far less games would go to shoot outs. It makes .500 mean something, and makes standing much readable.
Going back to a tie and no OTL would be my second choice.
3-2-1-0 would be far better than what we have now.
It is so obvious that teams would play for a tie, when they give such a strong incentive to. I read an article once that said the only reason it hasn't changed is because all the options are better than what we currently have, so no one can agree on a replacement.
It's always been my fantasy to get rich and buy a hockey team and use a 6 fat guys in goal strategy until the Shoutout and runaway with the president's cup to demonstrate how awful the system is and how it has ruined 3rd periods of regular season games.
