2024/25 NHLPA Player Poll

[Buff]

Here's what the players thought about one another:

They don't know about the Wolf yet, but they will soon. Very soon!

I'm surprised that anyone thought McDavid is a complete player (he didn't come close to winning but got votes). I'm also surprised anyone even thought he was smart enough to vote him to be smartest player.

This isn't just for who is the best or most popular, they also voted on PWHL rules that they'd like to see brought to NHL. Top rule they'd like to see is the Jailbreak rule. I don't have enough time to watch much NHL this year let alone the PWHL but I like the sounds of the Jailbreak rule.

Pretty sure all the goalies and a lot of D want the trapezoid gone. Stupid rule that punishes good puck handlers. (I'm extremely biased on this one LOL)

How about the "Remove the stupid offside challenge" rule

I think that would be great. The Brodeur zone really just punished goalies that could do more than just stop pucks. With the league trying to be more dynamic and fast, I think unleashing the goalies would embrace the new style of the league.

I think they should automate offsides. The camera + computer technology is out there to make it happen and then once it is automated you wouldn't need the challenge anymore because the system would be far more accurate than the linesmen could be.
