george,
don't know if you've seen this but check out slapshot's (http://slapshot.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/13/in-a-just-nhl-panthers-would-be-in-the-playoffs-not-canadiens/) "In a Just N.H.L., Panthers Would Be in the Playoffs, Not Canadiens". posted this on hfboards but it seems appropriate here. wonder if there's any comment on it. especially if this point system is something the GMs have considered. it does seem a much more fair way to dole out points.
