Brian Burke has suggested again that the NHL drops 10 games/season and goes down to 82. Whats everyones thoughts on that?

I personally think that would not be a good idea, what about all the records and stats. We'd never see another 50 goal scorer or 100 point season in todays NHL. I love stats and numbers and think it would make more sense to eliminate 5 preseason games and space out the games a little bit more. Maybe start the regular season in the middle of September not October so they can play 1 game every 2.8 nights or something instead of 2.4 (i think thats the number it was a few years ago).
The league needs all the revenue it can get and losing 10 games is alot of money which would drop player salaries even lower from 1.3m if they get in the new CBA, that would be even lower losing 10 games.
