What a way to give the underdog instant whiteboard material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguez Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Yeah, no thank you. Most motivated team in the history of hockey would be the team you picked because you "know" you can beat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Fist Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 The Presidents trophy winning players should get some kind of financial reward as a prize. But the playoffs should stay the same 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolboarder Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I would not be opposed to it. Even if it motivates the opponents, you got to at least have good reasons for it for example, travels avoiding teams that stack up their players for the playoffs, etc. I would also not be opposed to avoiding Vegas until the conference finals. Vegas can be avoided if WC2 is from central, so let's hope for wc2 being from central division so Vegas has to play against top team from central division as WC1 if we end up finishing first in the West. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it would make sense to, but I'm sure some of them are idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the playoffs should stay the same They should get into the Draft Lottery with the same odds as the lowest odds team. Can you imagine the push down the stretch last year to get Bedard? Still a super small chance of landing him, but a chance! Could lead to an epically stacked team, but hey, thats ACTUALLY shown to be good for the game. People love and hate dynasties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) If an entire regular season, means you don't get a tune up team for the effort...well that's not a bad idea. Let an upset be an upset. Who's the upset? Canucks beating Vegas with Stone back? And their entire 110 payroll? That's the upset. Let's be honest here. That's reality. Sucks to be on the other side of the equation, but absolutely, would prefer NSH. Edited March 12 by IBatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be real, the question proposed is who should Vancouver pick. Vegas. Or NSH. Wouldn't you rather Vegas had a round in before we faced them? Know I would take that deal 10/10. It's probably not going to happen. And yes maybe we can beat them too. Kucherov coming back to lead their team in scoring in the playoffs, and now this - come on, this is deliberate. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) As for the LTIR. If Vegas wins again, that loophole is done for. Hope it's not at our expense. Actually like that teams can load up with retention, playoffs should be best on best and that's something fans should see. You can bet Stone will be back.

If stone is back for game 1 of the playoffs, Zadorov needs to be tasked with rupturing his spleen again. That'll take care of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuardian Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 A lot of teams want to keep it the way it is because it allows the rich teams more leeway. And for teams with a real good chance at a cup to enhance their lineups. TO could have done this, the Rangers Montreal is but not for playoff purposes, The LTIR is also for financially challenged teams so they can make the cap minimum without actual expenditure. Often these LTIR's are legit because of the insurance company paying the contracts. So a team like Arizona that takes on 12 mil in LTIR contracts is saving 12 million in spending on salaries but they can use the cap hit to make the minimum It isn't all for just the cup winners.
