After the round robin is complete , the bottom four teams would have a best of 3 series to determine the 3 and 4 seeds and the top 2 teams would receive byes. Those would be the 4 teams from each division for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Pacific Division would launch like this Indy this format
Vegas 10pts
Oilers 8pts
Flames 6pts
Canucks 4pts
Coyotes 2pts
Ducks 0pts

I’ve been thinking about something like this.
Ducks in over the Wild (and Sabres over CBJ it NYR) would be asinine though.
The handicapping needs to better reflect current deltas in the standings, too.
