While I agree that there is no Correlation between preseason standings and regular season outcomes. I don't believe that preseason games are entirely meaningless. I think that they are an important part of camp and getting ready for the season. Players should be taking camp seriously.
I wonder if the next CBA will change how many preseason games are in the schedule. I know that a lot of talk around the NFL is about reducing the number of preseason games. Perhaps the NHL will shave two games off to give the players more rest days during the season.
