This is basically where I'm at.

The idea behind the rule of returning the league to a player focused league and improving the work experience of GMs is great. But, as noted by RED, enforceability seems rough and existing gaps in knowledge combined with increasing the benefit of the competitive advantage earned from having disposable time are concerning.

I personally think that raising the floor is the idea option, but that seems far from possible given the nature of the SHL and what FHM is.
