Now that the standings are finalized, I figured I would take a look at how they would break down using a Conference Ranking, with the Division Leaders ranking 1 and 2.
East
1) NYR (114 points) Vs 8) Washington (91 points)
2) Florida (110 points) Vs 6) Tampa Bay (98 points)
3) Carolina (111 points) Vs 7) NYI (94 points)
4) Boston (109 points) Vs 5) Toronto (102 points)
If you go by actual points without division leaders, the East actually works out the same either way. Otherwise, it's fairly close.
West
1) Dallas (113 points) Vs 8) Vegas (98 points)
2) Vancouver (109 points) Vs 6) Nashville (99 points)
3) Winnipeg (110 points) Vs 4) Colorado (107 points)
5) Edmonton (105 points) Vs 7) Los Angeles (99 points)
If you go by actual points without division leaders, it is actually 2) Winnipeg Vs 4) Colorado.
Definitely sucks for Winnipeg and Colorado having to face off in the first round, as they should both be playing weaker teams instead.
I would definitely prefer the 1 to 8 ranking, with Division Leaders getting the 1 and 2.
I don't really have much else to add, but just wanted to share my findings.
