I voted no considering the sizes of the past few drafts. There were some really good players that made it to even mid-second round, and by having more teams these players have a chance to shine more by being first liners or major players for their teams. If we shrunk down to 6 teams, there would be a good chunk of active players who would have to spend their time on the third line and not get a chance to perform well.
As far as the cyclical nature of the VHLM, there was still a cycle system when we had 8 teams, and there probably still would be a cycle with 6 teams.
