Meanwhile in Boca Raton, the NHL GM's made some recommendations for important and exciting rule changes heading into the 2015-2016 season. They have made the recommendation that the NHL adopt the 3-on-3 overtime rule the AHL has been testing this season. A period of 3-on-3 play follows 4-on-4 play in overtime before proceeding to a shootout. In this model, everyone wins. Shootouts, which are popular with some fans, are still possible while the game is given more opportunity to be won in team competition vs a skills competition. Also proposed was a coaches' challenge that would allow a coach to request a video review on goaltender interference calls. Both recommendations could be vetoed by the player's union, but should make things more competitive and fair.
