You kid, but this format is about as unfair as possible. If the Habs knock off the Pens - which wouldn't surprise me, they get the Flyers, while Leafs if they manage to get by Columbus get the Bruins. Bettman must have stayed up a few nights thinking up how to (frank) the Leafs.

Don’t the top-4 teams have to play a Round Robin to determine the 1-4 seedings?

US owners would like that.

League needs butts in seats - I would imagine empty-arena games will lose money.

If the NHL loses money and its revenue sharing, do the players owe the owners for the privilege of playing?

Yes, hard to imagine the Flyers not getting smoked in the round robin though. If that happens, Flyers play the winner of Montreal and Pens.

If I am reading it correctly, Leafs have a mathematical possibility of 1st overall.

We don't know this yet.

Teams with a bye will okay round robin to determine seeding - and to shake rust off.

Details to follow.

Nope.

It's revenue sharing, not profit sharing.

- Atomic Wedgie

Yes, but only if the Leafs get knocked out by Columbus in the play-ins.

Otherwise that pick is almost assuredly going to the Rangers.

It was cold, shrinkage...

I see that Leafs play the winner of the round robin. Hard to see it not being either the Bruins or Tampa - we'll see.
- winsix

I don't think they've said bracket or re-seed. If they were smart they'd try re-seeding: top team plays bottom from play-in, etc.

Uhm.

Have you noticed the parity in the NHL? A 4 team round robin after months of not playing will be a poop show. They could do a lottery for the seeding and it would be just as fair.

And all this is under the assumption the NHL actually plays.

I give it a 1 in 3 chance.

If the NHL loses money, MLSE gets to buy franchises and trade with them. Fact

I would love if after the play-in that they go to a 1vs8 2vs7 format.
