The NHLPA are currently voting on the 24 Team Playoff format which includes the top 12 teams from each conference. Details broken by Elliotte Friedman noted the bottom 8 in each conference will play a best of 5 series to trim it down to the traditional 16. Official details are expected later today or this weekend.
Excitement All Around
Last night, I spoke to a team executive about the vote and was told “it’s going to happen.” Of course agreeing to the format is just step one and more needs to be discussed and agreed to.
