The SMJHL does not feel like a AHL comparison though. As a rookie you earn less as a SHL player then your first season for instance. For a AHL player it's also the consideration of a big big paycheck.

Id say the SMJHL is more like the European leagues, competitive but with NHL out clauses in every contract. 

Maybe it's cause I'm European that I value my first club and stay loyal, maybe it's because I'm so grateful when NHL clubs sends Swedish prospects back to thier team to develop instead of stashing them in AHL. I can't tell if it's my bias. 

I don't see the SMJHL as training wheels leauge, I feel it's just as important and on par as SHL

I’m not comparing it to the AHL, I’m comparing it to the CHL.

Oh, I know nothing about how CHL works, only that they score a lot.
