I think it's important that we clarify in the rules that each team is expected to put in their best lineup for each game.
Things that teams will be expected to do.
1. Dress their best players who are available for that night.
2. Use an OT player and order of players for the shoot out designed to win on that night.
3. Not have long term injured players or players who are in the minors on their active roster if they have empty space on their reserve list or healthy players on reserve.
4. When the rosters expand at the end of the season players who are on their farm should be used if they are better than other players available for a game.
5. Teams will still have discretion to get players into 10 games but when they sit a player to get another into 10 games the player sitting shouldn't be one of their top players who was available for that night but rather the 6th forward or 4th d-man.
6. Not sit out players at the end of the season to protect their contract status for the next season. If a player is clearly one of your best you must use them whenever they are playing.
