If the NHL wants to expand the playoffs, this is a better way to include more teams IMO. It could be scheduled on the travel days for the first two rounds, with the caveat that the NHL is subject to the demands on the arenas, especially with the NBA playoffs happening at the same time along with busy buildings such as LA and MSG.
A system like this would benefit teams that perpetually live in the mooshy middle.

The problem with that is I don't think the players union and players would want to play more games just for a higher draft pick.
