This would be a big change, I don't really see it happening for decades at best It would fundamentally change the game for many, many people to the point where revenues and TV ratings would be impacted. Would it be for the greater good? Probably. I just don't see the NHL ever doing something like this unless they are forced down that road. The NHL is just like any other corporation: profits before anything else. It would take a great deal of incentive (ie litigation) for them to ever consider this. I know it would definitely cause me to lose interest in the sport to a degree.
