Getting rid of 2 line passes would just bring about people sitting at the oppositions blue line and waiting for the pass(this would be great for forwards who don't know what back checking is) but horrible for the game.
A 5 man shootout would also not be good because people don't like shootouts, what does it prove that one team can get luckier on break-aways than another.
Making the refs responsible for bad calls is a really good idea because the 2 ref system was supposed to eliminate or at least reduce mised calls but with all the missed calls lately it isn't really helping. One ref is the better choice, the game was fine with 1 ref for years so why fix what wasn't broken.
