[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 1540369, member: 85743"] Latest rumored return for NHL season is to go straight to a 24-team, conference based playoff format in two "hub" cities with 12 teams from each conference making it. The seeding, which will be determined by the standings points percentage, will see the top 4 seeds in each conference getting a first round bye though they would play a three-game tournament between each other during the play-in round in order to avoid any rustiness from those teams once they do get the opportunity to play in the conference quarterfinals. Those teams seeded 5-12 would play a best-of-five series with the winners then advancing to the conference quarterfinals with the best-of-seven series we see now. Based on this scenario, the Blues would have a first round bye but would play in the mini-tournament against Colorado, Vegas, and Dallas. They would then face either Calgary or Winnipeg in the conference quarterfinals. [/QUOTE]
