OPTION 1 - Rules are Rules?

If I could add one rule to the sport of hockey, it would to make offsides legal. I think it being not allowed is absolutely absurd and making it legal would make for more exciting and more fun hockey. Think of all the new strategies it could bring and the amount of points that could be potentially scored! You could slip a player deep to the opponent's side of the ice to be wide open for a one on one when you're confident of winning a four on five defense. Or maybe it'll force a defender back when the opponent has the puck, making it easier to defend. Either way it'd force players to different positions, it would open up the ice, and it would make it so there is more useable space at all times. Long passes, new techniques, and frequent one on ones. Speed would become king as players would need to be able to quickly react to new scenarios and it'd be a much more high paced game than it already is.
