For the league poll the average answer to whether parity is improving on a scale of 1-10 is a 5.6. Which is where I see it, obviously things take time to take place. You see that now with the better teams caps get tighter and tighter as the old contracts get off the books.

I believe the final piece of the puzzle is the update scale changes, which HO and GMs have been working on. It just needs testing for the junior level as well to make sure that we change it and theoretically we don’t have to change it for a very long time.

I feel like we gave a lot of tools to teams that are getting better in order get better, it’s just using the tools and not helping the already great teams as much.

With STHS there was a lot of randomness so you can have a stacked team miss the playoffs, where you don’t see that now as in FHM the important of depth and skill is increased. In the west I think is a pretty good example on where parity is going. Texas did a great job with it. Then you see teams like LAP and WPG continue to improve.
