You're given the green light to make one rule change for the next NHL season. What rule are you changing? (feddit.uk)

Bettman says he's okay if you want to bring back the rule against forward passes, he doesn't mind if you want to revert to old-school icing, he just demends you keep it to one rule change; you know, evolution is better than revolution...

What rule are you changing, tweaking, binning or creating.

I'd add relegation for any team that doesn't make the playoffs.

Where are you getting 16 more teams from?

Maybe it should only be one team dropped and one promoted. That'll also do a lot for the coach carousel too, while fighting teams tanking too hard and better aligning the AHL with the NHL in play style and value. I think it wouldn't take long before the billionaire owners would buy their AHL teams and take care of them better

It would take some rule tweaks from the AHL, but relegation might not be a bad thing.

Can you imagine the Oilers having a bad year and McDavid gets dropped to the A? I'm cackling
