If the NHL says that a shootout is a valid way to determine a winner, then a shootout win should equal any other win.
If you cannot justify a shootout win as being equally valuable - and I personally fit in this category - then the shootout is illegitimate and should be eliminated. Either go unlimited overtime (3 on 3 won't take too long), or accept that ties are a thing.
