For just for fun NHL should implement Mongolian wrestling tournament rule - "higher-ranked wrestlers have the opportunity to choose their opponents from lower-ranked wrestler from those remaining in the competition"
So 1st team in WC can choose which ever team from the 7 teams in playoffs. Then in the second round the best team remaining can choose any of 3 remaining team. and continue.
Then later rounds will have a great matches and lower teams always have a hardest way to become champion.
