I would actually take it farther than that if it were up to me. Before you scoff at the idea of a larger playoff format, go ask the NCAA how 'horribly' their large playoff basketball format has been working out for them.

Well 68 teams make March Madness out of 347 total division 1 teams or 19.5%.
In the NHL 16 teams make the playoffs out of soon to be 31 total teams or 51.6%
So if we're going to follow the NCAA we should be reducing the amount of teams make the playoffs.
