The latest 24 team playoff proposal gives the top four teams in each conference a bye. This will pit the Carolina Hurricanes against the New York Rangers.
Gosh. The more I learn about the 24 team playoff proposal, the more I dislike it. I won’t say hate, because any playoffs just might be better than no playoffs, but I’m getting there. The latest proposal is conference-based and will give the top four teams in the conference a bye while the next eight will go by seed for a chance to take on the top four.
