I dunno. I think that it's a bit cheap. In a sense, this makes a shutout/good performance at the start of the week more valuable, because you can lock in a 1.000 SV%, 0.00 GAA for the entire week if it's on a Monday, but if you get a shutout on Friday you're more likely around 0.950 SV%, 1.20 GAA.

Not really... we don't have that many bench players, so chances are you're going to leave your roster set most weeks anyways. I know I will anyways, my 3rd LW is Ben Enger and my 3rd RW is Boyd Gordon. And if you forget to bench your goalies... that's even worse. Forget one day and you're screwing yourself. IMO, unlimited week-to-week is a very elegant solution to stopping people from juggling players. I see it as encourages moves, because you don't have to worry about using one from a set stock for the season.
