If I were representing the players in negotiations for a new CBA for between the SHL and the SHLPA I would absolutely demand that the league institute a more inclined salary floor per TPE level than the current one. Right now we see too many top end players with contracts at 3 million dollars due to hometown discounts and players between 1000 TPE and 2000 TPE all having the same salary. Just doesn't make sense to me that the best player in the league gets paid like an average player.

Along with that I think we need to expand and create more of a role for the average player. Not everyone can be an all star and the 3rd line needs to matter more than it does right now along with the 3rd pairing of each team. 1000 TPE players shouldn't be on the 3rd pair or line of any team when some teams have their best player at 1000 TPE. Just not enough parity in my opinion and it's hurting individual player salaries.
