having 2 (or whatever) subs is fine to deal with conventional 'orthopedic' injuries that might come up, but if they become increasingly vigilant about using concussion precautions there may be several other guys that need to sit, that just a few years ago would have been 'gritty kids' playing with their 'bells rung'

I've always wondered why they never used this solution. If players are getting injured and you don't want to disturb the order of your line-up, you should be allowed to have extra players in the press-box in case these type of things happen. Also if players on your team are under-performing and you want to shake things up you can draw one of the extra's into the line-up and sit the under-performer. But it is just a tournament, not the NHL.
