Honestly number 4 doesn’t make any sense to me. Why would you want to go to your home jersey to be white? The home jersey should show your colour. Imagine if every fan wore white jerseys to home games. Every arena would be a sea of white… Kind of boring.

The only one here that makes sense from both a fan and league perspective is 1. That being said I don’t mind the current format given the emphasis on division schedules.

You lost me at 4. holy shit. Our home our fucking colors.

Re-move the Coyotes
ThingThatsJustBegun
Base the draft order on points earned after elimination. Fans cheering for their team to lose so they can pin their hopes and dreams on some nobody sixteen-year-old boy is the most embarrassing crap hockey fans do.

If i could only pick one it would be 6. No more loser points
Varides
6 just needs to be changed so everything is worth 3 points. Regulation winnr, 3pts. Overtime winner, 2pts. Overtime loser, 1 pt.

You can do all of this in NHL 23 Custom Leagues

10 – Other: require all shitters in nhl arenas to close the gaps in stall doors. Enough is enough.

If I remember my report on light and dark jerseys, the road team used to wear dark colors cause there jerseys weren’t able to be washed as often. That was around the time of the original 6.
Now that tech has caught up. Wash your white jersey and keep the colors at home 🙂

Definitely the 1v8 playoff format. I’d also like to see the point structure change to:
Win = 3 points
OT win = 2 points
OT loss = 1 point
Loss = 0 points

5 is one I have a problem with, refs and linesman’s are human they miss calls they make bad calls, it happens it’s part of the game and shouldn’t be reviewed every time. Slows the game way down.

1, 2, 5 and 6. If I had to choose just one then it would have to be 5

1 for the love of god please! Sick of seeing the same matchups in the first 2 rounds.
TheCivilRanger
Honestly looking through these it’s hard to say any of those changes have pros that outweighs cons.
I’d change #1 though just because seeing certain teams get snuffed is lame.

No to all of these

I like 1,2,3,7,9. Very against removing the salary cap. I love the competitiveness of the league right now, would absolutely hate it if it became like baseball and the teams with the most money win. I’m a red wings fan too and we took advantage of that for decades

The salary cap is great

People aren’t liking 4. What I would like to see is both teams in their colours if possible. Leafs Vs Habs should be blue Vs red.
Sgt-Pumpernickel
Number 1 for sure. And then make OT back to 4 on 4, or at least implement some type of over and back rule. Watching these possession battles is so boring. I wouldn’t be opposed to number 6. And while I like shootouts I understand why some can dislike them
Whissskkeerrrrsss
The playoff format now is good the 1st vs 8th was garbage
The_Pip
Allow ties. Just use wins as the way to sort standings with ties being the first tie breaker. No more points.
Numbers 4 and 7 make me wonder if you even like hockey.
GoldenxGriffin
1 and 7, make all star game east v west again, that is all
Whissskkeerrrrsss
Also salary cap made the NHL the most competitive league in north America.

Why would remove divisions it ruins the rivalry games we have. If anything decrease the amount of conference game and increase the amount of divisional games per year

Allow Olympic play

I’ve always thought Divisions would be better if we had more, smaller divisions like the NFL.
It would make it easier to play division teams 6 + times a year to build rivalries without having to take away from other exhibition matchups.

Number 5 but with instead of getting rid of it, I would change it to the offsides has to be within a 10 second window or less. That way the infraction actually mattered to get the goal.

9. Adjusting Salary Cap for taxes to me is a logical fix and would also have full support of NHLPA.

The only thing on here thats any good is the 1v8 playoff format

I think we need a salary cap, keeps it competitive.
Deuce_Bostitute
I think the person who scores the game winner in a shootout should get credit for a goal.
