I doubt that would happen because people don't to have stats from a while ago be harder to compare to current seasons, but SHL is going to keep growing (hopefully). Evenly distributed that's just above 3 games against each other team. 82 games increases that by 2 games per team.

Don't disagree with this, think we're definitely gonna have to increase GP at some point if we keep getting more active goalies signing up but doubt people would agree to 82.

Everything needs to be judged in the context of the era that they played, the NHL had a shorter season at one point as well. A lot of the players from the first 10-15 seasons already get shafted when compared to players from the current era because it's so much easier to have a super long career now than it was back then.


Think the rookie status change is a really good move as well.
