Yeah, I've wondered along the similar lines; don't really expect it to make a 'huge return', but if fighting is to become less prevalent than it even is now then we'll start to see an increase in dirty hits/plays that will go 'unpunished' by the players on the ice, so to speak.
This could then potentially mean that a GM or Coach might seek a face-puncher, just to calm things down a bit. Definitely think we'll see some form of return in the future, just never on the scale that it has been in the past.
