I agree with kit that it seems from an outsiders perspective that people forgot what the SMJHL is truly about. Which is being a developmental league that has the primary goal of getting new members hooked on the concept of our site. Kinda around when Merica and Maxy changed the playoff format from everyone gets in to 2 teams actually miss the playoffs, thankfully that point was reverted which is a step in the right direction imo.
IMO SHL expansion was overdue and could have lessened the hit the SMJHL will take from the influx of players.
As someone who just recently did some research on this. Usually about 80% of the players drafted to the SMJHL will actually get drafted to the SHL in a reddit summer draft which means that we will see about 92 people actually getting drafted to the SHL in S46. Of these 92 people about 35% actually hit 1k TPE in a reddit summer draft. So we can expect about 32 people in this S46 class to hit 1k TPE by S56. Since we have some "life cycles" in the SHL with former reddit drafts retiring we might not even need a new SHL expansion after this one but if this draft class will even just be slightly better in terms of player retention we 100% will need another SHL Expansion by S55
Thank you all for the amazing sigs & player cards
