If the league got rid of the 20-30 players like Scott, do you think there would be fewer concussions and career-ending injuries? I don't. Stars like Lukic, Ovechkin, and Phaneuf are fully capable of blind-side hits to the head.
Until the NHL really gets that this is about behaviour demonstrated by about a third of the players in the league, including big stars, the head shots aren't going away.
