NHL general managers emerged from their first day of meetings optimistic they would have at least one rule change to make.
After hearing a presentation from disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan on player safety issues, the GMs broke into smaller groups to examine rule change proposals.
A new hybrid icing rule and eliminating hand passes in the defensive zone were both met with support from the seven GMs who discussed them.
For a rule recommendation to be made to the competition committee, at least 20 GMs must be in favour of it.
The managers will continue to meet Tuesday and Wednesday.
