What if the guy was just trying to protect himself from hitting the boards and his elbow accidentally (on purpose) caught the chin of the opposing player?
HF posters decide 25 rule/league changes.

CC- #15. We’d never really know about it, and if we did it’d be a problem, but it’s an interesting idea.
#16 above
Ya, sorry, misread it at first. You win, that’s the rule now!But.... but that's the same system I want to implement3-2-1-0
#17 above
#18 above
#19 I guess? This would fundamentally alter the game, the board of HF won’t vote it through, but technically possible, I suppose.
Your first concern has already been dealt with, so I went with the second one. #20. Faceoffs where penalties occur.
The ones I ignored were either already done or contradicted previously made changes. 5 more rules to go!
Draft lottery positioning is determined by total points after statistical elimination. Worse teams (i.e those with less points and thus eliminated sooner) still have higher chances of having more points as they were eliminated sooner.
Makes games actually watchable for basement dwelling teams at the end of the season instead of being in the limbo of should I hope for my team or hope they lose to boost draft odds.
Would ultimately increase viewership. Imagine end of the season you have multiple teams contending for top draft odds

Never said it was Sunshine
This should absolutely be changed, yesterday. Logically it makes no sense to have it cancel out the penalty.

It would be fascinating to see if teams try to game this. Like the Sens still aren't technically eliminated from the playoffs, but if this system is in place do they actually basically throw a few games over the last couple weeks to start getting those points earlier.
I'm not sure why 99% would dislike this. It would greatly increase the drama around playoffs spots. The only potential "bad" thing is early east v west matchups, but it's 2024, it's not like an East coast team is taking a steam train over the rockies to go play the Canucks or anything.
Agreed. I don’t really understand it. Probably something to do with pulling the goalie. The league treats that weird. Similar to pulling your goal in OT will lose you the point for whatever reason. Which I also think should be removed, but that one is pretty far down the list.

Wonder if Angel Hernandez can skate. Just think of what he could do to an NHL game.

For me, some changes: no back to back games. Players needing a rest after a day of workout and that is science and common sense. A game played is similar to a workout.
No more regular season OT, bring back ties. Keep playoff OT rules intact. Regulation win is worth 3 points, a ties is worth a point and a loss is worth zero.
Remove the over the glass penalty and treat it as icing with no line change. The same for PK.
Create two different categories for 2 minutes penalties: 2 minutes major, a elbow, boarding, high-sticking, kneeing, charging is a 2 minutes penalty that has nothing to do with the hockey play that is common accident (last minute turning or last minute change of position in no fault of the offender) must be served in full regardless of how many goals is scored. Another category is a 2 minute minor such as tripping, hooking, holding is a penalty that can be back to full strength after a PP goal against. Still keep 5 minute major for severe incident that is not a normal hockey play nor accidental.
72-game season schedule with season starting on first day of autumn with playoff ending around mid-May.
World Cup of hockey being held in June every 4 years with a proper off-season for everyone.

Rule change for draft. It's a long one with lots of movings parts.
The concept of a first round pick still exist -- each team still have one, and each team can trade its pick.
However, there's no order, and the pick should be understood as the right to offer a NHL contract to any player whose rights don't belong to an NHL team. The player obviously has to accept the deal for the pick to be used. 2nd round to 7th round go normally, a few days after the first "round" signees are announced.
Consequently, draft age would be pushed back a year, and every signee is eligible to play in the AHL. Arrangements can be made for loans (if a draft-eligible player is already under a pro contract and that player doesn't have an out clause, the player can still be signed, though a year is obviously burned in that scenario). Those first rounders have to be signed for 3 years (it can be 2-way deals, but it doesn't have to), and the max deal than can be signed is a fixed proportion of the cap, but for 2024, that maximum would be 4 millions (I didn't think about it that much, it can be different).
Concretely : For the 2024 team, any NHL team could've offered a 3 X 4M deal to Connor Bedard, provided that team has the caproom for it. It wouldn't have made any much sense to sign Matvei Michkov with a first rounder, but he could safely be drafted with a 2nd rounder.

Thank you, Bill!
1. Revert to the old playoff format.
2. Close the LTIR loophole, teams must be cap compliant throughout the playoffs.

If you kill off a 5 on 3 powerplay, you get a free timeout to rest your players if you so wish. Those guys don't get enough credit.
Or if you don't get a goal on a 5 minute powerplay, you aren't allowed another powerplay in the game because you suck.

You mean Vegas can't have a $100m salary on the ice for the playoffs? That's just not fair for all those long term injuries that magically heal mid April.
