I know where you're coming from, but the majority VHL member base are not SHL members too. I assume every team there has at least 3F and 3 D lines and they're having fun with it, but here it's more fun if you are getting more minutes because...
...the majority of the VHL members are 25+ y.o. who are not TPE whores anymore and who are having enough with a welfare but it's still fun for us to see our player doing things with having decent playing time. Without it, we're having no fun.
In order to have deep roster we need younger members who are more ''hungry'' and ready to wait for some bigger minutes.
