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.

Get rid of the offside rule. It'll make the defending team have to defend space instead of just a line. Should create more rush chances.

I think it would lead to more 4v4 with someone waiting by the goal for a quick shot opportunity more than rushes.

Plus you won't have to explain what it means to someone who doesn't watch hockey. Actually, get rid of icing too!

Icing the puck is a big advantage to the team with the lead if there's no penalty for it. Maybe only have it be a penalty if you have a lead.
