Friedman talked about that a little bit. Fact is, there's very few guys left in the league who would do things like that. Even Martin really isn't one to run after guys. But if something like that does happen after a player is inserted into a game then extra supplementary discipline would be involved.

Fact: Kessel was the best and most valuable player of the 3 involved in the trade during the Seguin/Hamilton era of the Bruins. Seguin averaged 48 points a season as a Bruin and Hamilton was a bottom-pair defenceman for 2 of his 3 years there.
Chiarelli could have easily won that trade if he kept both or even just 1 of those guys before they reached their peak value, but he didn't.

Subbing in scratches between periods sounds like an excellent idea.
Instead of roster slots dedicated to fighting specialists (already on the decline), you can wield defensive/offensive specialists (Leo Komarov, Sam Gagner, Thomas Vanek, etc.) situationally, as well as giving try out time for the highly motivated tweeners (Leivo, Corrado) in blow-outs.
I think it'd lead to higher quality rosters in general, and certainly more entertaining games and coaching strategies to talk about.

I actually heard that idea a couple years ago (can't remember where - Mirtle, maybe?), and still think it's a great idea. You can only sub players in/out at intermission, and once a player comes out, they can't go back in.
It helps for injuries too - if a D-Man goes down in the 2nd period, they can insert a healthy d-man for the 3rd, so they don't have to necessarily play with 5 D the rest of the way. If your team is down 2 goals going into the 3rd - maybe you take out a "all-around" player and throw in an offense first guy.
I actually think in this scenario, more teams will carry 2 D subs, and only 1 F sub.

This would be the most appealing aspect of the proposal to me. It's always felt weird that a D can get injured on his very 1st shift and a team has to play with 5 defencemen for the rest of the game. This also probably prevents some players from playing injured knowing that they aren't burdening the rest of their team by leaving the game.

Man, the Pearson/Lindsay award really deserves to get more respect than it does. More people would probably name the Lady Byng before it if they were asked to list all the awards the NHL gives out.
