I would like to see a premium put on winning in OT. 3 for regulation, 2 for OT or SO, 1 if you want to give out loser points. Right now mediocre teams play for getting it to OT to get that point then cross their fingers they get the extra point. Plus I think it gives some fans a false sense of where their team is actually at.

That's a feature of the program, not a bug. The NHL wants teams and fans to stay in the race for as long as possible. There are still 30 games left in the season so propping up ticket sales and TV views for the 4 teams that look like they have a shot, but don't, really helps with revenue.
I agree it's shortsighted and bad for hockey, but the NHL long ago stopped being about hockey.

Absolutely - the bonus point works exactly as the league wishes it to - they want the APPEARANCE of close playoff races, even if in actuality the same bonus points can make it harder to pass teams down the stretch when the teams you're chasing can squeeze three points out of a two-point game.
Detroit is -15 already on the season and on pace to finish the season at -40. They're dead in the water already for all intents and purposes, but maybe there will be a few Detroit fans who'll THINK that they still have a chance and buy some walk-up tickets to games for the next 6 weeks...
Another minnow, so the Oilers need to just go about their business and blow them out of the water.
