Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I present to you...the Hall of Not Getting Their Shot Yet! This illustrious hall of honor will list players that had quite extensive minor league careers and made great impacts for those teams at that level, but never quite got their shot at center stage! This could be for many reasons, have infamous or famous players in it!

The problem with a lot of leagues that end up having retention problems, is that they end up with new players who get bored before it 'gets interesting' or they feel like they don't have an immediate impact, and that can be rather detracting. Especially during a time when instant gratification is more or less the norm and 'slow cooked' fun just isn't cutting it. This is why I've come to like the SHL so much, it's because there's a lot more nuance that goes on behind the scenes and its not just waiting for sims. Without it, I feel the SHL pipeline would be in absolute disrepair and we'd be relying on just recreates to populate the system. I think what I like most about this league is that really there isn't *that* much pressure to perform so well that you're making it up to the major leagues before you've even had a chance to make a minor career for yourself. Though unfortunately, then you come to the issue that GMs and the staff for teams main goal is to perform their absolute best, so the doesn't quite encourage them to build systems that foster good deep cores. What you might end up with instead are groups of people who just prefer to play with their groups and then don't branch out to other teams.
