The Future of the Stanley Cup Playoffs: Should the League Listen to the Players?

The Future of the Stanley Cup Playoffs: Should the League Listen to the Players?

It's never too early to talk Stanley Cup Playoffs. As training camps open across the NHL, we discuss the playoff format, whether it has gotten stale and needs changes and what some possible changes could be. Should the NHL expand the number of playoff teams, go back to a 1 vs. 8 format rather than a division format or maybe even have a play in round like the NBA. We also discuss the players' feelings about the current format and what changes they'd like to see.

Plus we have the latest on Mason McTavish's hold out and Carter Hart's possible landing spots if a team is willing to sign him.

All this and more on today's Locked On NHL Podcast with Rachel Donner and Gil Martin.
