One item that gained significant traction in GM Meetings today is if a skater loses his helmet, he must come off the ice immediately. Similar to what AHL and other leagues have already instituted.

Another rule recommention from the GMs: teams going on the power play will choose which side they want the faceoff to be. Only on first faceoff to begin the power play. Obvious advantage for power play team. The AHL already does this.

GMs will look into a way to encourage goalies to play the puck on shots from outside the blue line. There is talk of not allowing the team that freezes the puck to make a line change in those cases. Still work to be done on it. Talk of a penalty on it too, tho that’s unlikely.
