16 is a good number I feel. More than half the league now makes it, but that first round can quite often be a crapshoot, and it is action packed.

Increasing # of playoff teams while keeping 4 rounds would mean highest seeds get BYE rounds. A gigantic F no to that. The four rounds of the NHL playoffs is the most gruelling postseason in professional sports and to have a team bypass one and come skipping out fresh as daisies for round 2 just ruins the spirit of it IMO.
