Nazem Kadri can't be punished further for his blindside hit on Daniel Sedin, but the NHL's general managers will reportedly bring it up next time they meet.

The incident is going to be an added topic of conversation for the league's GMs, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported in Tuesday's edition of "30 Thoughts."

Kadri avoided supplemental discipline for the hit because his initial contact was with Sedin's body. The Vancouver Canucks forward's helmet was dislodged and his head hit the ice as he landed.

The Toronto Maple Leafs center obviously approved of the ruling, and Canucks GM Jim Benning was understandably disappointed.

Kadri was assessed charging and fighting majors in the aftermath. Sedin left briefly for evaluation but was able to return.

The GMs also reportedly plan to discuss Florida Panthers forward Vincent Trocheck's controversial shootout goal scored against the Tampa Bay Lightning last month.
