Do you like the idea or do you want to keep the current 16-team format?

What is this, peewee? If you can't finish top 8 in your conference over 82 games, give it up - you suck and don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

If you really want to boycott something, don't attend these garbage, cash grab games if they ever happen.

If you have to let every team make the playoffs to turn a profit, there is something deeply wrong with your business model.

Move or fold the teams that have no hope of profitability.

I could see 18 teams if there is an expansion of the NHL teams to 32. Beyond that I could see the NBA playoff seeding appropriate for the NHL as well...

Other than that, it needs to stay the same.
