Insider Trading: Changes to the game coming in 2019-2020? MORE:
No one big single issue on the table that the general managers are debating, but a lot of little ones and some changes that we could see in the games coming up next season. Let’s start with player safety and the idea of helmets and what players have to do if they lose their helmet during play.Likely they’re going to have to skate off the ice, go right back to the bench.
Right now players have an option in the AHL, they can either pick their helmet up and put it back on or skate directly off the ice. In the IIHF, as soon as you lose your helmet in play, there is no option, you have to go off the ice. That’s likely what the NHL is going to do and give full credit here toand the Department of Player Safety, because that’s really what this is about, it’s about the fear of a pretty significant injury.
Offence overall is up, but offence on the power play not necessarily. So, some tweaks maybe, once a penalty is called in trying to give coaches an advantage. It might seem insignificant now, but there is a proposal and it looks like it’s going to go through the competition committee and for approval at the Board level.
They think this simple tweak will give the teams that much more, I mean if you have a player like [Patrice] Bergeron and you want to put him on his strong side, that’s your choice. Once that happens, the penalty killing team can decide who they want to put on the ice, the power play team can put who they want on the ice and away we go.
Columbus Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen made a lot of significant changes to his hockey team at the deadline, he wanted to make a change to a specific rule here at the GM meetings, but it doesn’t look like it’s happening.This one was the one minute penalty for overtime 3-on-3. He felt that because the 4-on-3 power play is so dangerous and ends a lot of games that it should go to one minute, instead of the traditional two minutes.
