I dont think reducing the size of goalie equipment is going to change that much. It didn't change much before, and these changes are even less drastic.
Sure, some equipment is there for taking up extra space, but James Reimer has gone on record stating that he'd wear whatever they wanted him to if they took away composite sticks.
It sounds like they may not have these sizing changes in effect for the upcoming season anyway. If they don't get them done in the next week or so, the equipment manufacturers and players won't have time to adjust properly before the new season. Many guys should have their new gear in hand already and have been holding off for these changes.
