So looks like they added a delay of game penalty for failed challenges. Should definitely cut down on the “what the hell” challenges.
Also, no longer allowed timeouts after an icing.
And as mentioned before, crackdown on slashing and face off violations.

I like the idea of decreasing unnecessary challenges. And offside tends to be less debatable than goaltender interference (I'm not sure anyone really know what goaltender interference is).
However, there are still debatable offsides, particularly when camera angle isn't perfect / obscured, but you can assume one way or another. It will suck to see a debatable call turn into a penalty.
