His belief is that it should be the players option too, he thinks that players get more aggressive the more safe they feel and the sticks will come up more if everyone is wearing one.
good thought...
So what are your opinions?

I think you're thinking of Steve Yzerman. He did take a shot in the eye and had to undergo surgery to repair not only his eye but his eye socket I believe.
I think its up to the players themselves, some believe that a visor might slow down their game, other believe it won't be affected. In my case, after seeing my dad getting cuts to above his eye twice in the last few years by pucks, I'd go with visors but that's just me.
Its nice to see the NHL management taking initiaive to ensure that its players are well protected, it is a rough sport.
