I think some people think, that due to the way the hirings were rushed, that there were others that were not given a proper shot to throw their hats into the ring for these positions. I am glad that the SMJHL HO is taking this seriously and adding teams at the approriate time for overflow. But I do understand where people might be upset.

Lots of the issues are gonna be in a couple seasons if the draft classes are getting split 10 ways, LRs might dry up really quickly. Especially if the drafts are 10 picks per round, going to be tough to get actives in the late-third round for some of these teams if the non-reddit drafts stay between 30-40 people. Already had a criminal lack of goalies and sometimes it's hard to get enough Cs depending on classes. Then comes the problem of how to fold them properly without that causing issues, if it is needed.

These are the stats right now. Give or take a couple here and there since I didnt update my scouting list this morning. We are filling up. HO came up with a solution, whether it works will be decided in a season or 2.

Also nearing on 90 Update threads, and we cant really judge people if they made update threads on not. A prime example is Slash as he didnt make a update page but got drafted

I think it's pretty discouraging as a new active rookie to log in and see your player struggling to even hit the 20 point mark at seasons end, especially with all the capped send downs that are running around producing near PPG.  I actually think the higher scoring sim (the one with TA/GA) that we used in the early-S10's fit what the SMJHL should be really well which had much higher scoring all around.

I think the SMJHL should prioritize high scoring more-so than the SHL does.  At the very least I'd like to see more rookies scoring over 30 points at seasons end.
