<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Yea cause honestly we have 0 idea what the guy did

Lets not assume based on a rumour and ruin a guy. Its like the whole Kane thing years ago (wasnt terminated but you get it)

Now the question is does a team take a chance or did whatever he do basically end things in the NHL this season

Should be interesting. Cause man he may just be viewed as a distraction rn


While the curious cat in me wants to know what he did also know people's privacy got to be respected.</div></div>

I don't see why another team would sign Perry, now I assume if a team wanted to sign Perry, they could get all the info we aren't getting ( or the NHL would just tell them no don't try ), but I fail to see why a team would go after Perry when he got terminated for I'm assuming a breach of contract

Thread: Rule Changes To Improve NHL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hurricanes_WPG</b></div><div>In decreasing order of sanity:

1. Use the 3-2-1 points system to reward regulation wins.

2. Remove the trapezoid. Let goaltenders play the puck anywhere in their own half. If you don't like it, don't dump the puck in!

3. Decide top 16 picks using the Gold points system, to encourage teams to always try and win, while still ensuring that the worst teams get high picks to get better.

4. 10 minute 3v3 overtime in the regular season, if there is no winner, it's a draw and both teams get one standings point. You can't make it much longer than 5 minutes without resurfacing the ice in between but I think that 10 would be fine.

5. Teams can retain salary on any number of players, so long as the total retained salary is less than 12.5% of the salary cap.

6. Allow performance bonuses in all contracts, not just 35+ and those coming off of injury. Normal rules apply and you can still get hit with cap penalties in the next year if you go over.

7. ELC maximums scale with draft position, with first overall eligible for up to 5MM/year, and the maximum for each subsequent pick being 1MM/year or 95% of the previous pick's maximum, whichever is higher. Also, ELCs can no longer apply to players 23 or older.

8. If a player is on LTIR from any point prior to the trade deadline up until the end of the regular season, they are ineligible for the first round of the playoffs.

9. Penalties in (regular season) overtime become significantly shorter but are played 3v2. Two-man advantage becomes 4v2.</div></div>

1, 2, 6, maybe 3 if implemented right seem fine

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>Change the OT playoff system to continuous 3v3... Think about how fun it would be to see 3v3 in a G6 where a team has their back against the wall, the crowd would be on the edge of their seats during those moments...

Also, have the team chose whether they'd like a 4v3 or a 5v4 PP... Could see some teams implement some interesting strategies and could mean taking a penalty to bottom teams with less stars that much more painful... For a 4v3, one guy would hop the boards from each team and the other would come from the box

Every team (minus the teams who made the conference finals), gets an even chance at each pick from 1-28; Would get more parity in the league and make teams think twice before trading 1rst and would prevent teams from tanking</div></div>

Ideas 1 and 2 I'm fine with but what is that 3rd one, that kills all rebuilding teams, teams would have 0 incentives to suck and you'd have a 32 team slugfest to make the playoffs which I don't think the NHL has the talent to pull off, the NHL arguably already has the best parity of all NA major sports, we don't need more
