Just because I'm bored, here's my take on all these ideas:
Spoiler for length
Spoiler!
Fix the standings and kill the loser point - Yes, great idea.
Longer overtime, fewer shootouts - I don't see what longer overtime will do. Just get rid of shootouts completely and call it a tie after that. There is nothing wrong with ties.
Lose the puck-over-the-glass penalty - Yes, another awesome idea
Hybrid icing - I never understood how hybrid icing would work. Even after all those videos that Don Cherry shows during almost every coaches corner now. But sure, I wouldn't be against something that improves player safety.
Fix the diving problem - YES YES YES! I would go a step further and say implement heavy fines and suspensions to divers.
No more Bettman Cup presentations - Nope, stupid idea. Keep it as it is. Booing Bettman has become a bit of a tradition, let's not mess with that.
Make the nets bigger - This idea makes me cringe. I say keep it the same, but I understand the value in small increases in net size.
Change the way we determine draft position - I don't mind this, but I'm not sure the solution he presents is the best way of going about things.
Redefine late hits - Not sure what this does honestly
Keep the instigator rule, but tweak it - Sure...
Keep fighting, but eliminate the enforcers - Again, sure...
Crossover final - Why? Seems like change just for the sake of change.
Continue to enforce the rules against obstruction - No. The last thing we need is phantom calls and 35 minutes of powerplays per game.
Get rid of the referee microphones - Sure, but why?
Place a moratorium on redesigned logos/jerseys - Yeah, I can see value in that.
Go back to home whites - No way! I would say, however, let the home team pick which jersey they want to wear. Like in Soccer. So if they are wearing dark, the away team wears white and vice versa.
More home-and-homes - I like the idea.
Smaller goalie equipment - Good idea, to a certain extent.
Close the salary floor loopholes - Not sure what the point of this is.
You sign a contract, you disclose the terms - Again, who cares. I'll get the info no matter what.
No more "upper/lower body" injuries -No. I don't want my team's players getting ransacked because of known recurring injuries.
Fewer outdoor games - Good idea.
