Can't imagine this would make it past the NHLPA or the referee's association.
- The importance and use of faceoff specialists throughout the entire league would greatly be undermined. They wouldn't be obsolete, by any means, but the automatic faceoff win rule leads to ultimately less shifts, less ice-time, less opportunity to put up points and earn a bigger contract. Bigger names like Koivu, Bergeron and ROR wouldn't be affected as much, but less "sexy" names like Hanzal, Bozak or Vermette would balk.
- The linesmen would hate it. Hate, hate, hate it. Instead of making sure two guys are lined up properly, now you have to make sure all 5 players from both teams are lined up properly. How would you ever enforce something like that? Make a winger and dman switch spots? Adding complication to that extent would make it a massive pain in the arse for anyone wearing skates at the time, regardless of any entertainment value for the audience.
I agree that things like too many men or delay of game should be treated much differently than slashing and elbowing, but not where we're overcomplicating things just to fix a handful of infractions. The 1 min penalty seems like it'd be easiest to introduce.
