This wont be something that happens often at all in the future. The only reason it works in this case is because of Matthews age. Hes not allowed to play a game until he's 18 and hes a September birthday. He's litterally the oldest guy in the draft next season so he wont miss much, if any, of the Swiss league season. If a player was a Nov-Dec or later birthday this route wouldnt make any sense as you would have to sit in the press box for a large chunk (maybe even a majority) of the season.
