The time has come where enough questions are being raised to finally put the matter to the test: If the evidence is not conclusive, then this means that much more rigourous study needs to be undertaken in this debate. I won't believe that fighting is effective as a control mechanism until I see some clear evidence that shows as much. It is as simple as that.

You keep rubbishing then. If neither of the NHL or NHLPA want it gone; then I suppose if you feel strongly enough about your opinion, start selling girl guide cookies to fund this undertaking.
Until then, you are entitled to your opinion; however, if you aren't going to do anything about it, then your opinion is nothing but an empty scale.
