They specifically say that they'd wind up watching the game on a bike and staying warm in case they have to go in. Shouldn't be an issue.

Exactly. "But the guys they have in the press box are better than the guys we have on the ice!" Aw, muffin. Draft better.

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.

Yes. This seems less likely than, for example, having a guy in there who's an offensive dynamo or a shootout expert who comes into the game for overtime. Or maybe strategies open up where you have a guy who you absolutely flog for ice time in the first half of the game such that he's gassed, and then sub him out for a similar-style player who's fresh. Instead of never playing a game, Josh Leivo plays 30 half-games. It's good for everyone.
I absolutely love the idea.
