    With shootouts deciding ties

    With your average team playing 10-15 ties a season, will teams like the Sabres or other offensively challenged clubs find it wise to pay (or even overpay) for at least a few guys who are money on a breakaway? Even if they are defensive liabilities???


    I'd really hope if Alex Mogilny or someone like that is available in FAcy- Buffalo would bite.

      Tim Connolly might have some value, he's a wuss but he'd be perfect in a shoot-out IMO.

        What have they decided is the point system for OT wins and losses. Are they going to a 3 point system?

            Regulation Win = 2 Pts,
            OT Win = 2 Pts,
            Shootout Win = 2 pts,
            Ot Loss = 1 Pts
            Shootout Loss = 1 pts,

                sticking with the system they've been using. Larry Quinn is on record as saying that a 3-point system would make things a mess...a lot of teams would be out of the running a lot sooner

                  So a win will always be 2 points, and an OT loss will always be one (tie). Seems overly complicated the way they lay it out.
                  Personally I think the 3 point system has some merit. I'd like to see a team get 2 points for a win, and 3 points if they win by 4 goals or more. That would bring some offense to the game and drama even in runaway games.
                  I still think they need more incentive to win in regulation.
