Every team essentially makes it with round robin play, but actual finals and semifinals series are very short. I think it’s good all teams get a crack at post season hockey, but I also don’t like how short the finals can be. With the Clancy coming back does that mean the founders cup is also coming back for teams eliminated in round 1 and 2?

If they are bringing Clancy back then don’t even have play in round robin. Top 8 teams make playoffs, the rest enter the tournament if they wish.
