Playoffs
Leave the playoff system alone. First off, adding a bye leaves too much time to sit around and wait to play. Second, if everyone gets in, what was the regular season for?
This isn’t little league, you don’t have to include everyone to spare people’s feelings.
no playoff for eighth
too many teams already make it in. A playoff for the eight seed would be a joke. If you can’t end the season above less than half of your conference then you don’t deserve to get in.

The NHL isn't the NCAAs..
But go for it NHL. Please. That way the Cup Finals end up being played in August.
Not to mention the fact that if a team tanks the season they’re not going to worry about tanking another game.
