What do you mean by not fun? In that, because their team lacks the depth needed to field an active and competitive roster they get down about things cause their team does poorly?

I mean I do feel a bit for teams that get stuck in a rut where they may only be left with say 6 actives, but thats the eb and flow of a league. Gotta piece together what you can for now, sign some inactives and draft well. Seems a bit unfair that because your shorthanded, you can just play your top players half of the game to make up for it, and stay potentially competitive no?

Yeah, that's more or less been the argument, I think.

I honestly prefer to side with realism, and I've been on that side of this argument in the past. But as I said, the consensus thus far has been that it's an unnecessary change.

As for remaining competitive.. Well, yes and no? I think it's worth noting that for the last several seasons, the cup-winning team has been one that keeps ice times reasonable, not one that plays their skaters for 30 minutes a game.
