A One Minute Penalty In Overtime?

from TSN,

The annual NHL general managers meetings kicked off Monday in Boca Rotan, Florida without any hot-button issues on the agenda.

TSN Senior Hockey Reporter Frank Seravalli listed ten tweaks up for debate at the meetings on Monday and TSN Hockey Insider Pierrer LeBrun later added another possible change to the list.

"One of them is being proposed by Jarmo Kekalainen of the Columbus Blue Jackets which is to go to a one-minute penalty in three-on-three overtime instead of the traditional two minutes," LeBrun said on Insider Trading. "I think the idea here is about fairness, that it’s hard to defend a four-on-three power play, it’s a short overtime, and this would give the team that’s killing the penalty a chance to hang in there so we’ll see if the mangers support that before the end of the week."
