1 point each for regulation tie
Then 1 point awarded for winning in OT or SO.
It's so obviously the best points system for the NHL but Bettman and the BoG always tend to be blind to the obvious outcomes.

The sole reason they don't go to this system is that it makes teams appear better than they really are.
The vast majority of teams get to .500, or 82 points in 82 games, when in reality, it takes about 92+ points to get to the real .500.
It makes the worse teams look better than they really are for their fans.
Bettman is not blind to this, but there are business reasons in play here. It's indeed obvious that the 3-2-1 system makes the most sense hockey wise.
