The SMJHL has it right with the 350 TPE cap.

against.

its been said over and over again, the cap being so low isnt very good for the activity of new users. having the cap closer to the total a player would need to be called up just makes sense. this would create some variety in line tpe totals which in turn would make players want to work harder to see themselves develop and gain that ice time. in reality THATS what would prepare users for the SHL because it is a grind the entire time, without seeing much output because of the low cap user arent going to have as much input.
