The league doesnt want any teams seperating themselves from the pack.
But it doesn't!! Why does no one get this?
You can't actually create more space between you and your opponents than now, it just looks like it..
You could give 20 points for a W, 10 for OTL, the league won't be decided earlier in the year. A 60 point gap might look big but would be possible to catch up in a week or two.
Why not give 0.2 points per win if NHL fans are so easily manipulated? The playoff race would be closer than ever...
It's actually about 3 things and I fully agree with OP's system:
-Teams want to win a tied game rather than make it to OT.
-Every game is worth 3 points, you decide your own fate rather than having to hope for regulation wins around the division.
-a loss in OT is still worth more than a regular loss but not half a win as today. Losing would become less rewarded.
