The Athletic Fan Poll Shows Love To MacKinnon & Makar. Does the Playoff Format Need to Change?

On today's episode of Locked on Avalanche, Chris and Kyle dive into a series of questions asked by The Athletic to NHL fans. The questions we tackle today are:

-Who is the best player in the NHL besides Connor McDavid?

-Should the NHL add a play-in round to the playoffs like the NBA?

-Do you prefer the current divisional and wild card playoff format, or the old conference based format (1v8, 2v7, etc)?

-Are you a fan of star players having more power about where they want to play?

-If you could grab dinner or drinks with any current NHL player, not on your favorite team, who would it be?

-Which city deserves the next NHL team, either via relocation or expansion?

Some great topics up for debate so feel free to comment below with your takes!
