The league needs to make sure the same number of points are available each game. I'd be for making every win 2 points and loss 0 points but they would need to get rid of the shootout as it would be absurd to award one team 2 and the other 0 based on that ridiculousness.
Given that the shootout sadly doesn't seem to be going anywhere they might as well make it a 3 point system. The added bonus of teams going for it in regulation to get an extra point could be interesting as well.
They need to change the coaches challenge system too. Way too often it's a coach just making a questionable challenge because they get a timeout during the challenge even if they are unsuccessful. Make it a 2 minute delay of game if you're wrong and it should force the challenge to be what it's supposed to be about - correcting clearly wrong calls.
One thing I would also like to see change is a modification to the no change on icing rule that the ohl uses. If the team ices it from their own end they can't change, but if it's iced from the neutral zone they can change.
