Haven't read the whole thread, but has anyone brought up the point that technically fighting is already not allowed? You get a penalty for fighting.
Even sports like football, where if you throw a punch you're supposed to be thrown out of the game, still have fights. I don't think it's feasible to eliminate fighting entirely, no matter what the rules say.
FWIW I am slowly beginning to think that fighting doesn't have much of a place in hockey. Except line brawls, need more line brawls.
