Should the NHL change its points system?

One problem with the NHL that is always brought up is their current points system. Especially the �'loser point'' for an overtime or shootout loss.

For many years, fans and hockey minds have brought up the idea of a 3-2-1 points system. Meaning three points for a regulation win, two for an extra time win and one an extra time loss.

Another option would be just straight up two points for a win and none for a loss, which sounds the most intriguing.

Thanks to @datadrivenhockey on Instagram, here is what the standings would look like with either a 3-2-1 or 2-0 points system:
