Playoffs should be seeded 1 through 16, regardless of conference. The six division winners get home ice and the next 10 teams with the most points make it in.
I'm sick of eastern teams getting cupcake travel for the entirety of the year until the last two weeks when one of them has to go to a different time zone.
Also we'd get a chance to see the two best teams play each other for a Stanley Cup - no other North American pro sport does that.
