All thirty NHL GM's will be meeting in Florida starting Monday with a key focus on blindside hits and head shots. Rule 48 specifically looks at head shots but with concussions having effects on personnel from almost every team, other avenues will be discussed.
The game has gotten considerable faster since rule changes were made after the lockout so the league GMs will discuss a wide variety of options. Most likely, it would be next season before any changes were implemented.
There will be many other topics discussed that will receive less focus as the meetings will run through Wednesday.
NHL Network, NHL Radio and NHL.com will offer unprecedented coverage of the meetings. Here is the release from the NHL that describes the variety of outlets involvement...

The Zdeno Chara hit on Max Pacioretty has broadened coverage out of the sports section to the front page and beyond. Canadiens owner Geoff Molson's vow to make this issue a priority at the GM meetings sets the stage for talks whose outcome will reverberate widely. Thanks for monitoring these developments, Buddy.
