What is This Contraction? What would the VHL look like contracted down to 8 VHL teams? It is a legitimate question. Rumours have been flying off the handles about whether the VHL should contract to try to increase the parity levels. The discussion usually happens in times like these, where you have five strong teams and 5 terrible ones. What was odd (and frustrating for members of the Toronto Legion) was that this season, 4 of those teams were in one Conference and it was Toronto who had to miss out, despite having more points that any of Europe’s teams. But it is a little bit ludicrous that the longest surviving sim league on the internet will have some seasons where a couple teams can’t even fill a line of players (let alone active ones) so one obvious solution to not having enough players is to shrink the number of teams in order to fill out the rosters, right? I mean, there is another obvious solution and that is to actually put effort into recruitment but that does not seem likely. So what I am interested to know is how would this change the face of the league? Of course, historically, we have always had eight teams - for the first 32 seasons that is. When The Expansion happened in S32, it was a big deal and there was much change going on at the time. We were switching boards, Commissioners were switching, and Expansion was going to happen. Among all this chaos, however, I do not think that this was fully thought through. For even when we had 8 teams, there was an obvious cyclic life cycle of a VHL team: get a young core, fill it out, compete for 3 seasons, sell everyone off, get draft picks. Rinse and repeat. With 10 teams, that remained pretty much consistent. Now with our integration of the second-player rule, I think that we are in a position to actually give GMs other alternative to the build-up, break-down nature of the league. It is my belief that if we do revert back to eight teams, that even the weak ones would at least have one competitive line, and therefore only be a couple of pieces away from competing. Because of the salary cap (which probably should be raised a little but that is an issue for another day), with less teams and more deepened rosters, GMs will have to be closely monitoring their acquisitions and caps. This should lead to more players being on the block and also more competitive choices for players to go in free agency. Can we finally break the cycle and have a Detroit Red Wings-like dynasty for once? The long and the short of it is that we probably never should have expanded to ten teams and it was a decision made in a time of much change and confusion and was probably not fully thought through. This season’s league parity was shocking and if we do not want another season like this it is best that we look at contraction as a serious possibility.
