It usually takes ~ 30 players to get through an NHL season and I don't think the NHL is going to stop at 31 teams.
And sure the trap takes skill to execute, but it takes less skill. That is why teams used it during the last round of expansion.
When every third liner becomes a top 6, and every bottom pairing D becomes top 4 it is going to change how the game is played.
