There is a nice article in The Hockey News this week regarding giving coaches the option of a powerplay or penalty shot on 5 on 5 infractions.
The article also covers the means of speeding up the game, mainly expanding the neutral zone.
Defense wins hockey games though, and coaches care primarily about winning, and not TV ratings, so the trap and other methods will likely remain in place, despite the outcry from the fans for a faster and more exciting game.
