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.

That might only be because of Switzerland's labour laws and visa requirements. Nothing stopping Sweden or the KHL from signing these guys AFAIK.
