That'd be a good step, I still prefer the idea of extending the regular season slightly so you play every team in the league 3 times a year and the top 16 teams in the league make the playoffs regardless of conference. That eliminates scenario's like Vancouver's where a large part of the reason they're ranked as high as they are is because they're in a pathetically weak division and it means that you don't have the yearly BS of the 14th, 15th or 16th ranked teams (based on points) not making the playoffs because they're in the stronger conference.
