Uh, it's not a freeroll at all, the current way things are is a freeroll. If you gain an advantage via penalty, the disincentive for doing so is you play a man down for two minutes. At the end of the game, if you take a penalty, that's a freeroll since you avoid the full punishment while getting the entire benefit.
