With the expansion of TV timeouts, it seems like 4th line players are being limited to 4-5 min a game.
What are people's thoughts on dressing 11 forwards? It could allow the coach some discretion to double shift the best player on the ice that night. It would allow for a 7th defenceman to be rolled out for an important penalty kill or to rest a player or two? That 7th dman could also be a younger player who gets a few minutes to get acclamated to the speed of the NHL game. Thoughts?
