Recently in the Toronto LR, I spoke about my concerns about how the SHL treats its GMs. The community finds GMing much less attractive in this league compared with other similar leagues, and the result is that Toronto, New England and Tampa Bay are currently searching for a new GM or GMs. There's obviously a problem here that needs to be identified and solved, but the root is debatable. Is it the (again, compared with other similar leagues) poor compensation in terms of pay and perks for GMing? Or is it something more intrinsic to SHL, where FHM is seen as unfriendly to beginners and the very long (though now slightly shorter due to regression changes) rebuilding and contending cycles caused by how long player careers are? Long rebuilds will discount many users, while long contending periods might encourage GMs to stay in post until after the end of the cycle. (152 words)
