increase from 15 to 18 games before rookie status is removed. goalies play 6 backup games a season. 6+6+6 = 18. so the 19th game would remove rookie status.
Personally I think the idea of increasing the number of games in a season to 82 would be a good idea, and along with that you increase the number of games required for a backup to play each season.
I doubt that would happen because people don't to have stats from a while ago be harder to compare to current seasons, but SHL is going to keep growing (hopefully). Evenly distributed that's just above 3 games against each other team. 82 games increases that by 2 games per team.

i mean... that's an interesting idea. I'm kinda trying to focus on the backup thing right now, but yeah that's still a neat idea.

Yep, I get that. You're not even really asking for a drastic change either so I'd be surprised if someone came up with a good reason to not do this.

Don't disagree with this, think we're definitely gonna have to increase GP at some point if we keep getting more active goalies signing up but doubt people would agree to 82.
Everything needs to be judged in the context of the era that they played, the NHL had a shorter season at one point as well. A lot of the players from the first 10-15 seasons already get shafted when compared to players from the current era because it's so much easier to have a super long career now than it was back then.
Think the rookie status change is a really good move as well.

What makes the sim better by expanding to 82 games?
In my mind the only reason to expand to more games would be if we wanted to increase the never of teams in the league.

@ArGarBarGar you're correct it's an arbitrary number, 100 would work as well. But what Tomasnz said is correct and the reason I bring up adding more games. Currently we play an average of 3 games against each team, which is pretty low in my opinion. If we expand in the future, and we should because our goal should always be to keep growing, then that number is just going to keep decreasing. Couple that with more goalies becoming active proportional to the number of teams in the league and we have to make the decision to either make being a backup a viable position for a semi active member by increasing the number backup games significantly (meaning the value of a starting goalie is decreased unless we also increase the number of games in general), or we just decide to keep backups as inactive members.

I don't think teams play against the other conference as much as in their own.
And if this is the case (and it isn't a horrible argument) and people want to get more games in against the other teams, then I would recommend slowly increasing the number of games instead of just adding 32 because it matches the NHL.

I'd be on board for that. I don't know exactly how many games each team plays against each team wouldn't be hard to check previous seasons.
Not sure would amount per team added would be good, but adding games in increments when teams are added does make more sense.
Funny enough even if it was averaged out so each team played the other one the same number of times (give or take a game since it isn't a round number), it would still be more than the average for the NHL (3.33 compared to 2.82). If we added two more it would be 2.92, so still more than the NHL currently.
