I could also see the EBUG staying to help out some of the forwards after practice.
That said, I remember when the Flames had 3 goalies with Ramo, Hiller, and Ortio, and they hated it. Especially constantly switching in practice and not getting their own net to work on their game. That's why I don't see the EBUG getting the same type of practice the other 2 goalies get.

By definition they should only see action that the others can’t or don’t want to see., including practice.
