It is pretty slow moving but progress is being made. If you look at the Flames team from 2004, less than half were wearing visors (and Leopold looked weird). Now only a handful of a guys are not wearing them.
A visor used to be looked down upon by "tough" hockey players but now some of the toughest players on the team (Iggy, Jackman etc.) are wearing visors. So while mandatory visors weren't included in the CBA, there is some progress being made when it comes to the mentality towards them and hopefully we are close to getting in done (before someone else loses a career).
