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.

All I know is Pavel Datsyuk just become INCREDIBLY valuable.... Mario is the only person i've ever seen better on breakaways.....

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,

Regulation Win = 2 Pts,
OT Win = 2 Pts,
Shootout Win = 2 pts,
Ot Loss = 1 Pts
Shootout Loss = 1 pts,
so are the standings gonna look like:

22-13-2-1-0-1-2

?

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.
