When the NHL general managers get together on Thursday in Detroit to discuss how best to improve the way the game is played, they won't have to look far for player reaction.
That's because the NHL has invited a small group of high-profile players to attend Thursday's session.
The group includes netminder Martin Brodeur, defencemen Rob Blake and Scott Niedermayer as well as forwards Steve Yzerman, Brendan Shanahan and Trevor Linden. Others may be added.
Shanahan, who conducted his own how-to-improve-the-game summit earlier this season, was asked by the league to put together the group of players to participate in Thursday's session, which is devoted entirely to ideas and concepts to make the game more entertaining and fan friendly.
On Friday, the GMs will meet on their own but only to discuss collective bargaining related issues. GMs have a myriad of questions and concerns about practical considerations on everything from the entry draft to free agents to minor league operations.
