2) Do we need offside challenges at all? That’s a no for me.

If I had my way, I would scrap both offside and goaltending interference reviews. I don't think they're good for the game. They both only take goals off the board. I'm fine with a level of human error, especially when we're talking about skates being a millimeter over the line. Will you get a ridiculous Duchene goal? Yep, eventually it'll happen but it's a once in a decade mistake that the league can take up with its officials.
Goalie interference - I think that's gamesmanship and players should be able to push that boundary with the refs relied upon to make the call in real time, not to wipe out goals because of incidental contact.
If you have to have the reviews, I think it should be the war room making the call so there's a greater level of consistency. Having individual refs make calls while watching the video on an iPad? It is ridiculous.
