I don't think it's that silly of a suggestion. 13th or 14th forwards don't sit for 82 games. I imagine some teams like the internal competition and ability for players to practice the system with the big club. Just rotate through the bottom of your order with each playing around 60 games. If one is really playing lights out, then you can re-evaluate and send someone down if they start sitting.
