The NFL for example has done an awful job of trying to make the game safer while keeping offensive defensive balance.
If they wanted to change the checking rules they would have to make it an objective thing, like did you hit their head yes or no, is that hit from behind yes or no. Not is that hit in the open ice? well kind of but he was only a stride from the boards and the other player was moving quickly...

No doubt that any time these adjustments are made there is a period of time where it kinda sucks.
I think it is worth it though.
