There's a lot of talk in my office, on the radio, on podcasts and most medias about the Preseason problem;
How do you protect your NHL players from injuries and/or cheap shots?
There was a lot of options that people offered but none really stuck with me as a real solution that would benefit the NHL as a whole except maybe two of them but they come with their own problem too.
1st option that made some kind of sense ;
2nd option ;

1st option that made some kind of sense ;
- Minimum of 6 games total.
- Minimum of 4 games where teams have full control of who they play, at their own risk. The AWAY team must send their line-up first since they are most likely the one to send a C or B club with a bunch of scrubs trying to make a name for themselves.
- The last 2 pre-season games, you must have your full roster and be cap compliant. Just like the Regular season.
2nd option ;
- Keep the current format.
- If there's a player (that doesn't make the official roster) that receives a suspension for a cheapshot, the opposing team can choose which player has to serve the suspension.
- All suspensions shall be served from game1 of the regular season.
- Exemple : Pare receives a 3 games suspension, MTL request that the suspension has to be served by Auston Matthews.
- Arber Xhakej is suspended for 1 game. He's making the team roster so he is suspended for game #1 of the regular season.
