This one's kind of tricky for me to vote on. It depends on what kind of game is going on.
Close game with a lot of solid action? I wouldn't be opposed to a shootout. Detroit/Chicago from last season is a good example. Now that was one hell of a game. Yes, there was a shootout, but it didn't wreck what happened throughout.
Now if it was a high-scoring game, I wouldn't want to see it finished off any other way than a tie and/or OT.

Remember, coaches were jotting down names of players before starting. Now curveballs are thrown with people jumping off of the bench in no particular order. I'm hoping this 3-on-3 thing works for the league, so that there are fewer of those curveballs thrown. League's going to do random 3-on-3s in the preseason, just to see what it's going to be like. (Regardless of score.) |

(Regardless of score.) It created a lot more goals in the AHL. They went from ~65% of games that went to OT also went to a shootout to just ~25%. |

(Regardless of score.) I'm really looking forward to how the 3-on-3 goes for the new season. Excited to see the new line combinations and the lack of a shootout for most OT games. With so much speed and skill infused in today's youth, that 3-on-3 should look awesome. |

Mmmm we do like those overpaid veterans who make no significant difference. How does a 2018 2nd rounder sound. Gave up a 2017 3rd for Rinaldo, seems like that is about the right value |
