I don't see what is so bad about a tie. I know, teams play for the tie once they hit OT, blah blah blah. Keep the 4 on 4, it opens things up, but keep the tie.

I don't hate the shootout-- it is exciting to see these guys on a breakaway. I do hate that it decides a game.

Or at the very least, award only 1 point for a SO win, 0 to the loser. Still 2 if it's won in OT. That should sufficiently push teams to go after it in OT.

Absolutely do not touch playoff OT. Those produce great memories. I can tell you where I was in 2008 when Sykora scored in 3OT Game 5 of the Finals, and same with Petr Nedved in 4 OT vs the Caps in 1996. And, unfortunately, Keith Primeau at 5 OT in 2000.
