What we need to figure our is ideally how long the season should be and how long it should take.
The length from start to start being two months would not be bad. 45 days for simming, 30 days x 2 sim, trade deadline, 15 days x 1 per day. Rest is offseason and start again.

^this.
One injury would shit down the simming with no recourse without GM input.
There are some valid arguments for shortening the season, but injuries and lines are a huge hurdle.
I like the idea of speeding up the regular seasons. This is a bit too drastic for the reason above but I'd like to see 2 SHL days simmed and a 3rd day simmed if there is less than 4 games that day.

i don't get why regression has to be pushed back if a season is shorter. everyone is pretty much affected by this equally. Players will retire earlier, new players will have a chance to catch up. Keep in mind that back in the old days, regression was 5 seasons, not 10.
If one season is 2 months, that is roughly 60 TPE
If it's cut 1 month, that is roughly 30 TPE, which is a loss of 50% of training for each player.
Though that is only around 10% TPE of total TPE earned per season including Individual TC,Uncapped PT, capped PT, twitter, etc. That's not that much to effect anything significantly.
Hell we had 2 months off seasons before and no one complained about regression being pushed back /forward

^This is how fever did it a couple seasons ago and I think it was a decent speed

How about...
Monday to Friday - 2 sim a day
Sat and Sunday - 4 (two early/two late night)
a simmer isn't going to want to open up the sim and do everything twice a day.
