The Associated Press and Canadian Press asked NHLPA player representatives from all 31 NHL teams what they see as being the worst rule in hockey. Selected responses:

"I don't know about the challenge on offside. I don't know if you should take it away or not. Maybe a whistle gets blown sometimes a little too quickly. I understand why the ref or linesman might do it, to protect themselves if there's a tough call. And the linesmen, they're the best in the world, I think we should trust they can make the call and let them do it. Let them make the decision like it was before. I don't know if I'm totally against it, but I think that's one we can look into." — MIKAEL BACKLUND, Calgary Flames
