Teams that already have 4th lines that would be 3rd lines on the non-playoff teams would have even further advantage over teams that have trouble putting together a 4th line
If you want to help parity then dress 13 skaters and then maybe have a limited substitutions.

Thats not a rich get richer thing... its a building your team correctly thing.
Pretty sure at least 2 of the teams you listed have more cap space then Calgary (or Edmonton next year)

Could be an issue, but then keeping a bruiser in the PB would be like keeping one on the bench. Its a waste of a spot.
