My Opinion on shrinking the VHLM

 

I know what your thinking, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO SHRINK THE VHLM........ Well, hear me out, I think i have a good point. 

 

The point of this league and how its set up is to have as realistic of a sim as possible, in order to have a realistic sim, you need to have realistic roster sizes. Taking a quick look at teams around the VHLM, most have very tiny rosters.... My team included with only 7 players including myself. I think this is an issue for one main reason, TPE. If you look at TPE its pretty simple, the more you have invested in your player, the better chance they have at performing well during a game. The problem here lies, with individuals that don't put the effort into getting TPE, which reflects on our team, especially when we have so few players on our roster. 

 

What I propose, is to shrink the VHLM by a handful of teams so that we can fill the rosters of the other teams. This allows better players that try hard to earn TPE to get more ice time, and players that don't care or play passively, to get less time on the ice and hopefully lessen the negative impacts on the team.

Just a few months ago, there was a huge recruitment drive that brought more players than the VHLM can have to keep decent ice time for everyone. Keep in mind that an other huge draft class can happen again and it surely will.

 

An other thing is that nobody come here to play on a 4th line. You need enough teams to allow good ice time to everyone and shrinking the VHLM would bring poor ice time to new players. 
 

I was myself in the S75 draft class and played on a 4th line and its lame. You’ll see, some seasons the VHLM feels empty while some other seasons its packed.
