Written Option 2: If you could change one rule in hockey, of any league, which rule would you change, how would you change it, and why that particular rule?

A rule to change in hockey, as I don’t watch actual ice hockey the one thing I could come up with there are some really crazy rules, like having the winner of a fight not get a penalty, adding a 6th player on the ice, or something smaller like making penalties real time, and not stopped after a goal has been made. The first one would obviously incentivize fighting, if you are good at it, while the 2nd one would potentially bring a bit of chaos, where would this 6th player go? The last one would probably make powerplays more aggressive and penalty kills even more defensive, as you can score multiple points in 1 powerplay, while you do not stop the powerplay of your opposition if you score a shorthanded goal. Then let’s look at the SHL-rules, and mainly the J-league rule about TPE, I would be curious if lowering the initial first season TPE cap to something manageable for high-earners in the first season, and then increasing the cap slowly each season afterwards would be more fun than the current 350 TPE first 2 seasons, then 425 for the last 2. Maybe something like 300/400/500/600 or 300/350/400/450 could be a fun idea to make a bigger difference between J-players who are in their 1st/2nd/3rd/4th season respectively.
