That said, I can't see us lasting another decade without playoffs. People invest a lot of time trying to get their teams together, etc., and so, we need to probably have a system that allows them a "reward" for that participation. I say, at least a wild card would be good. Going further might be a bit much, but..it's probably time to discuss it for a few years down the road once the financial changes get comfortable for folks. 3-5 years at the most.
A best of seven series and keep the Classic best of nine. I think that interest increases when there are playoffs, even if it's "random" or a "crapshoot." And really, I don't think there is anything fraudulent about 2nd place teams in our leagues, because the talent is so deep. And I'd say one playoff sim for the whole shebang, no stopping for each round or anything.
It'd make Sunday nights more interesting, that's for sure.
