I don’t know why more NHL teams don’t try this. It’s also a good hedge against in game injuries to the D core if someone can step in for spot duty. Easier to go 11 forward than 5 defenseman
I don’t see much downside in trying a guy like Erik Gustaffson as a forward/powerplay QB.
But it’s virtually never tried long term
