This.

The allure of expansion and new teams is always bright, but we can't actually consider this when we have teams where the roster is barren like Tampa, and to a certain extent Toronto and Minnesota.

If we truly need more space for some players, we have the option of using the 4th line for the SHL teams the same way it works pretty damn well in IIHF and the SMJHL.

The argument of "nobody wants to play on a 4th line" is pretty weak, and teams can always adjust their playing times to give them more time if needed. But as of now we're pushing 800-900 TPE players out of the league sometimes, and for what?

16 teams with 3 extra forward spots opened up is 48 more SHL big league spots, and as a result, 48 less players taking up the prime slots in the J.

The answer isn't expansion, that's for sure.
