10. The anti tanking measures are good. Edmonton not being complete garbage shows that its working. Teams are still gonna try to tank to get 1oa though because really unlike real life, draft classes in the SHL vary wildly by size. It's like if the NHL draft had Conner Bedard every draft but was only 2 rounds (but maybe sometimes 4 rounds). Every draft class is going to have some recreate that is absolutely worth selling literally everything to build a team around. At least the new system makes it much harder for teams to complete sell everything and sign basically a team full of IFAs to shoot straight to the bottom. A competitive league *every* season is better for everyone. Now we just need to deal with a small specific number of teams who tell their recreates to only go back to them and then are never bad.
