Arizona and San Jose flip. Not a lot of change. Tampa and Winnipeg only going to 2 and 1 OT game respectively is kind of interesting.

I imagine the fact that there isn't a lot of positions shifted is what the NHL presents to teams when people complain about this format. They can point out that your chances of missing out on the playoffs because of this are slim, and probably equal to your chances of someone else nipping you with a format change, so why change, especially since we may be able to sell more tickets for longer for teams who drop out of the race...

The only argument that might hold water is the 3 points would make regulation a little more interesting? But then you get less made-for-TV overtime drama. I'd probably try it with the AHL just to see if anything interesting happens, but I can't see anything changing.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
