from the CP via TSN,
The group sits down together four times a year and examines several issues around the sport. A variety of items are put on the agenda for discussion.
“Some of them take literally 30 seconds,” said Maloney.
One discussion that is sure to take much longer than that is headshots, which will be examined at length on Wednesday. It’s the current hot-button issue around the league and there are a variety of opinions about what could be done to curb blows to the head.
While some are in favour of the status quo, others are anxious for change.
“I’m more concerned long-term about what’s going on,” said Tampa Bay Lightning GM Brian Lawton, who recently lost rookie Viktor Hedman to injury after a big hit from Ottawa’s Chris Neil.
“I had raised some of the concerns long before Viktor got hurt. So I think it’s very timely and I don’t want to deviate from that (issue). I’m more interested in the long term, what are we going to do, because it costs the teams a tremendous amount when players are injured. That’s the bottom line.”
