No matter when you start there's always going to be players with more accumulated TPE, there's no changing that. No matter what you do with your player, you can't catch up to thr veterans that quickly cause thats the way the league is designed. You have to reward the dedicated.
Now why is it so important for rookies to get big minutes in the SMJHL? Isn't the SMJHL supposed to teach new players the ropes, why would that mot include "if you want top minutes in fantasy hockey you need to put in the same effort as the next guy over"?? Just because you get to have a great player for a season or two does not mean all of a sudden you wanna grind 3rd line minutes I'm the SHL?

I think we should teach and reward the dedicated, even in the rookie league. Cause your gonna need that if you wanna make a big impact player, and there's plenty of people who do.
