Morgan Rielly says there's always room for improvement in player safety following George Parros' statement

"In terms of changing what they're doing, I don't know what that would look like and I didn't hear what those guys said, but I think that there's always room to improve and do better. Especially over time, I think that the league has player safety in mind and they prioritize that, and I think that's important."

"I've been on calls with guys where we discuss rules and players are allowed to give their opinion. Goalies are allowed to give their opinions on goalie interference stuff. I've taken part in that kind of stuff...when it comes to player safety, that's something that I think is always good when you get input from all."

A knee-on-knee collision between Radko Gudas and Auston Matthews ended Matthews' season and resulted in a five-game suspension for Gudas. Critics argue the suspension was insufficient given the severity and Gudas' history as a repeat offender. Department of Player Safety head George Parros defended the disciplinary process, prompting discussion about potential improvements. Morgan Rielly acknowledged room for improvement while expressing confidence in the league's player safety priorities. Rielly emphasized the importance of incorporating player input into safety rule discussions and disciplinary decisions, noting his involvement in previous rule consultation processes.
