Recap Of The General Managers Meeting

from Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star,

As the NHL’s general managers gathered at Montreal’s historic le Windsor hotel to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the league, the post-meeting talk was more about recent rule changes and an unexpected uptick in goal scoring.

“I think it’s without question the game is going in the right direction,” said Maple Leafs GM Lou Lamoriello. “How much more has to be done is an unknown because right now I think we’ve got a great game.”

There was little trade chatter emanating from the GMs’ meetings, who were gathering primarily to begin the process of reviewing the latest changes to the game.

That includes the crackdowns on slashing and interference, as well as the new tweak to the offside challenge rule that costs a team a delay-of-game penalty if it fails to win an offside challenge.
