Ie, allow players to claim a small sum on TPE for important milestones in certain stats. for example, 50 goals, or 200 hits. This is a huge aspect of the NHL already, as fans love to track N00th goals, points, assists, ect. Humans love stats, the NFL knows this the best. They've infused their sport with nigh-meaningless stats to keep people engaged not just in the sport, but in the data it creates. We should be similar. Achievements have always been a decent way to engage certain players in all sorts of games. We even have one for 2k TPE. So the next logical evolution in the SHL is a system that puts our stats and data to work for us.

This is exactly where my head went to when reading cash instead of TPE, they could be bonuses for individual milestones. 1000 games played, 100 goals, etc etc.  100 playoff games etc.  Performance bonuses, as well as eventual hall of fame stats, how many "awards"/"milestones" they achieved. 

As far as comparing to the rest of the league, it doesn't seem like it would be too hard to post lists of like Top 25 in Goals/Assists/Points/ etc.  Of course where do you draw that line with hundreds of players in the league? top 50? top 100?  Something that could be announced with the All Stars or Hall of Fame.. season standings.

I think rewarding based on Top X is inherently the bad part of the current milestones. With this new idea, i would want to reward players based on their own merit. The difference between being a HoF player and an average player in terms of Milestone rewards could be as little as 10 TPE, as well as "better" players receiving their milestones earlier.
