Not that its my choice to make but there is a balance to be struck. I agree with your argument, but the last thing the NHL should do is insert rules that cripple a D-mans ability to make defensive plays ( aka what the NFL has done).
This play is a poor example for my argument as I see that it was over the line by this rule book's standard. I am referring to the broader dialog about changing rules to allow for "more skilled players".
