By that I mean decreasing the gap between the top and bottom teams TPE-wise within the span of a single season. I'm not concerned with repeat champions, but moreso with reducing the amount of time it takes for teams to become playoff teams and increasing the amount of ice time casual members get on competitive teams.

there is literally no way to change this over the course of one season, and if you could, would it even be a good idea? I feel like the GOOD teams right now spent a lot of effort on being good. Buffalo didn't become good over night. It was a process -- a process that every good team has had to go through in my near 11 seasons on the SHL.

I'm all for opening more doors for casual members but imo, this just isn't the way to do it. Why punish teams for putting in effort into building something sustainable over a long period? I just don't get that logic.
