To be clear, I never said that pre-season games were meaningless, only that their outcomes are. I agree that they serve a necessary purpose, but maintain that fans often get far too invested in the final scores.

I wonder if the next CBA will change how many preseason games are in the schedule. I know that a lot of talk around the NFL is about reducing the number of preseason games. Perhaps the NHL will shave two games off to give the players more rest days during the season.

A reduction of pre-season games that coincides with shorter camps and an earlier start to the regular season would be ideal.
