None of these issues are new. The NHL never does anything significant to address their problems.
I'd be happy with a bigger net, because they are too gutless to reduce or change a goalie's equipment to a reasonable state. They won't do that either.

Changing the net changes the game to much. While I think the general consensus is that equipment could do with a change, but because it evolves every year its something we can live with.
If you make the nets bigger, then any numbers any scorer puts up should have an asterisk beside their name in the record books.
Making the nets larger is as stupid as making the basketball nets larger or the back board larger, or the uprights in football larger. I think certain things need to remain true to the origins of the game.
