''Question of the Day: do you think the NHL should bring back the playoff qualifiers from the bubble?
I personally believe this needs to happen. As the cap grows and more and more players are able to score and produce at high rates, there's more parity and talent across the league than ever. There are certainly more than 16 playoff-caliber teams, and (in my opinion) it's unfair for one or two points in a flawed standings system to determine who gets to play in the playoffs.
Along with this, revenue, marketing, and viewership are needed now more than ever with the NHL being covered by ESPN. What better way to corral new fans than to present them with a never seen before playoff system in a unique league?
What are your thoughts?''
