Here's what is allowed:

"After the combine, you can bring a player to your city, interview him, take him out to dinner, medically test him, MRI him, whatever you need to do," said NHL senior executive vice-president Colin Campbell. "But you can't physically test him, you can't put him on the ice, you can't do any of that."

Players who are not invited to the combine can be brought to a city and physically tested and/or put on ice.

So what's the punishment for team's that break the rule?

"It's a significant fine," Campbell said. "[Commissioner Bettman] has to get approval from the board of governors to do that. In the past, it was a smaller fine... Our guys even talked about the possibility of attaching a draft choice to it, to make it significant. We didn't go there."
