I like the option EASHL clubs have to allow a drop-in to play a club game with us. You can potentially find new teammates, or not have to play with bots if you’re down a human or two. Our club has fo...

As far as kicking mid-game goes, we want to avoid that as most likely there would be a lot of kicking of players that didn't do anything deserving of being kicked.
Clubs are going to go to the effort of waiting the extra 2 minutes to match with drop-in players (combined with today's atrocious matchmaking) only to boot them for doing nothing wrong? And this is going to happen "a lot" ?
The problem with matching lower rank players with higher ranked ones is that it would shrink the player pool and make matchmaking more difficult.
But this is what's happening now. You'll have a team of players with RP's in the 16,000's matched up against sweats with 25K RP
And how does expanding search criteria make matchmaking more difficult?

When you restrict matchmaking parameters, it means waiting longer for matches since it shrinks the player pool. Instead of looking for all ranks, a team would be only searching for others right around their rank.

Obviously, we can't prove this without actually implementing it. Chances are excellent teams running drop ins together would kick a human goalie or kick a player that wasn't part of their team. Maybe someone makes one mistake and they get kicked right away. I just don't trust that this feature wouldn't be used only for kicking players that are legitimately trolling.
