10. GM meetings are coming up and the Nazem Kadri/Daniel Sedin hit is going to be an added topic of conversation. I didnt like it at all, as Im not sure what Sedin is supposed to do there. Hes not admiring a pass, hes in the act of scoring a goal.
The rule was re-written in 2012 to eliminate the term blind side, so since Kadris initial contact was with the body, the Department of Player Safety was limited in what it could do. But there are some GMs (including Jim Rutherford and Ray Shero) who believe the NHL should always be trying to protect the head.
The question always is, though, can they come up with language that enough of them agree on? Hope so. No one needs to see that play out again.
