More teams?

the Stanley Cup playoffs finished on June 12th last year...

Big pass on adding even more teams...not only does it go far too long now, but it diminishes the importance of the regular season

winning late, only matters for style points, like in the College Football playoffs or the NCAA march madness... Team with defined leagues, like the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL, game one is as meaningful as game 82... its all about the points, not about when a team is hot...

the biggest change i'd rather see is seeding conferences 1-8 and letting them play out a bracket that way...

i'd prefer 1-16 too, but the NHL won't bite on the travel costs...
