Improved NLL

What would you change about the NLL to make the game better ?
This could be anything from player development, team management,
rule changes, gameplay changes.
For me unless the NLL can somehow pull in and convert jr. / Echl
hockey goalies they should switch to field style goalie. There
is no shortage of talent coming out of NCAA but next to no top
box goalie prospects.

What do you mean by "field style goalie"?
Give examples of field goalies that transitioned well to box.

It is a very spicy take but I mean straight up field goalie with
6x6 net (still use the box semi circle crease but maybe enlarge
it a bit)
The NLL does not have a lot of high talent goalies but the PLL /
MLL have so many high caliber goalies guys like jack Kelly,
ward, and Rodgers (getting old now) don't play.
With expansion the goalie position needs to be addressed and the
NCAA is a good farm better than cla box.

I always wondered that, field games have lower score , less
physical defense , any way under goalie to net ratio. There's
the same a mount of players in front of the nets too in box and
field

Field is a chess game. Box is a barroom brawl. 😎

I don't know about you guys, I don't see the 'crease dive goal'
as spectacular as I once did. Maybe it's that O players are a
bit more athletic today...maybe? Might be that rules seem to be
a bit more relaxed on making contact with the goal/goalie before
the ball crosses the goal line. Not sure, player landing on the
goalie's feet just as the ball goes into the net seems a bit
anti-climactic. I realize it is still an athletic, gutsy
play...but it wouldn't bother me if they tweaked the rule...not
saying I got the answer. Like the topic...two cents etc...

Are looking for something similar to the ncaa with the crease
arc?
In terms of diving I'd be fine if the rule was nothing below the
shoulders in the crease. I like dunks and dives but I do find
them a bit cheap
