if you read a bit higher my post about the next SHL Expansion (since the SHL S46 Reddit Draft / S45 SMJHL one ... killed the Expansion) then way more send downs would be called up and we have more spots in the SMJHL.

Give me data. How many teams are like that?
The one I'm on isn't. 


Also. What's wrong with having actives on third lines not inactives?

Also. Why does everyone feel the need to talk about lines in tpe order. Build Combinations are  far more important from what I can tell. Why not slot in the pass first rookie on the second line if you don't have a +1000 tpe player with that build.

I can't speak for every team, but there's rigorous line combinations test before each season. If a rookie on second line brings the best average result I'm very sure most GM's would play them there. It's not a matter of just throwing the highest TPE players on each line.
