"I think the conversation is about what can we do, what is out there, different options for players and making sure we communicate well with our players to make sure they understand what is out there. There's urgency to it for sure. The technology is better and player safety is critical."
"It varies in different categories. In the wrist area, I think there's 10-plus, in the base layer, there's 10-plus, in the foot sock, there's 12-plus, in the neck, we're getting there. We hadn't had many, but as it sits today, I think there's up to eight companies on my desk waiting to be cleared. And of those eight [companies] there's probably 12 to 14 options to wear should [the players] choose."
"There's a prime example of one of those companies' products right on the Washington Capitals' roster. Forward TJ Oshie has worn a protective turtleneck from his own Warroad brand in games this season and has some options."
