You're given the green light to make one rule change for the next NHL season. What rule are you changing? (feddit.uk)

Bettman says he's okay if you want to bring back the rule against forward passes, he doesn't mind if you want to revert to old-school icing, he just demends you keep it to one rule change; you know, evolution is better than revolution...

What rule are you changing, tweaking, binning or creating.

Remove the instigator penalty.

Restrict reviews for disallowing goals to the period 3 seconds prior to the goal.

I agree with the limit on offside goal calls. If you can't stop them by 15-30 seconds then it didn't materially affect play. None of this 'oh 2 minutes ago one dude didn't grag his leg enough, no goal'

Removing the instigator would lead to a lot of guys just straight up getting jumped, no?

It more just allows fighting to happen more, it's less about preventing players getting jumped, and more about making fighting expensive to a team based on a highly subjective call by the refs.
