from Emily Kaplan of ESPN,
If you could make one rule change to make the NHL better, what would it be?
Connor McDavid, Edmonton Oilers center: I'd make goalie equipment smaller. As long as they're protected, that's the main thing, because guys shoot the puck so hard now. But it doesn't make sense for a goalie to be 160 pounds and when he gets out there, he looks like he's 250. A skating player can't fake how big he is.
Kreider: I love that they keep making the goaltender's equipment smaller. If they could keep doing that ... goalies are so good now.
John Tavares, Toronto Maple Leafs center: I don't know about a rule change, but I'd like to see the rink just a hair bigger. Not very much [wider], just five feet or two feet just [longer] to give a bit more space.
Matthews: Bigger nets, for more goals. That's what everyone wants to see, right?
MacKinnon: No icing the puck on the penalty kill. That could improve goal scoring and takes more of a skill to get the puck out.
