It needs to happen. Part of the reason why I want to fight regression with Ben Dover is that I don't want to wait and bank tpe in the SMJHL for like 5 seasons so a spot can open up. I know the commishes are waiting for x number of people so an expansion team can safely happen but fuck sometimes you gotta spend money to make money. And we gotta expand the league to boost our membership numbers there is only so much to grow right now due to the limited spots in the SHL. I think we should try to expand roughly every 10 seasons, to be honest.

TPE Cap in the SMJHL needs to be higher:
I hate banking TPE, you feel no sense of improvement on your player when you are just banking your tpe and honestly, its a struggle mentally to earn tpe if you are just going to bank it. You want to see immediate results in your earnings instead waiting for 3 seasons which is like 6 months to see your results. The 350 cap is so fuckin old it was like when at most you spent 1 or 2 seasons in SMJHL now the people are spending 3 seasons in most cases down in the SMJHL and honestly if we increased the cap to 500 tpe or maybe even higher I think we would have much better retention in terms of people staying after their 1st rookie season.

I don't think these two things can happen together. They contradict each other. You want the SHL to expand but yet raise the cap in the SMJHL to encourage players to stay down longer. I don't think they're bad ideas but they work against each other to a certain extent.

I want to raise the cap because the 350 cap was something that was implemented two updating scales ago. I think the only change is 325 to 350 if I remember correctly. The whole point is so people don't get bored in SMJHL just banking tpe and actually see growth in their player. There are always going to send downs so why have them be like yup lets have the same shit player for another season. It's an old limitation and 350 tpe 2 updating scales ago is so much different that 350 tpe today. I also think it would add another dimension to the SMJHL cause capped players won't always have the same amount of tpe. A 350 TPE player back when the SMJHL cap was implemented was actually a suitable SHL player.

Its just covering all the bases.
