I think this is a great idea!
I think your title is misleading though. It's not a free shot, more like free offensive possession.
Personally I would like the rule to be no shot allowed right off possession. No one would want it to be like a free kick in soccer where the guy could get some speed and really get behind a dangerous slapshot.
It would be fun to watch the offensive and defensive setups on a penalty like this.
