I'm going to start the playoff talk with a simple poll question:

The way I see it we can either do playoffs with top 8 teams or with some set-up that includes all 13 teams. So vote for your preference.

I picked 8 teams b/c I'm not sure how else we'd do it, and b/c it still the most realistic number(real nhl has just over 1/2 of the teams get in)

Pretty easy format for all 13, but it defeats the idea of a regular season.

3 divisions -

Team A gets a double bye.

---- Division 1

Team B versus M

Team C versus L

---- Division 2

Team D versus K

Team E versus J

---- Division 3

Team F versus I

Team G versus H

----

Winner of Division 1 plays Division 2, Winner of Division 3 plays Team A.

Then... well you get the picture.

Top 4 teams get a bye.

Something like:
1st round - 12 v 13 (one off game?)
2nd round - 5 v 12/13, 6 v 11, 7 v 10, 8 v 9
3rd round - as per normal, highest seed plays lowest
etc

It should go like the top 3 teams get byes into the second round. Then the other play for a spot in the second round. Then it will go 1 vs. lowest seed remaining, 2 vs. next lowest seed and so on

We have 8 out of a possible 13 votes in (or 10 if we don't count SJ/CBJ/MON). I'll consider this issue decided in 24 hours. Vote if you haven't all ready.

Alright. Playoff poll is closed. Final vote total:
8 teams - 7 votes
All Teams - 3 Votes

Next issue - Draft Picks:

Do we finalized the draft pick order at the end of the regular season, or do we allow the picks to change based on playoff performance like EA does (and I think the real NHL does too, though not 100%)? What this means is that after each round of the playoffs, the losing teams get slotted in to the pick order in terms of the season standings.

Discuss and I'll post a poll Tuesday to start voting.
