is there any pushback for the fact that league has consistently failed to deliver a top 20 PW team to the tourney? If they even had an occasional top 10 or 20 team, they would have a greater claim to legitimacy, but upsets in the one-and-done hockey tourney do not validate their worthiness for an auto-bid, IMO. Play-in game is not a great idea, and soothing the pain of a legit #16 team is not something to be overly concerned about - it just seems Atlantic is playing a different level of hockey during the year, and perhaps not worthy of auto-bid status.
