Now there will be exceptions as people grow slower than some, so they may need an extra season in the smjhl. But it allows a quick turnaround that doesn’t screw over the SMJHL GM’s

In any league there will be competitiveness, you can’t get rid of it. But there’s always a cycle of SMJHL teams of building a good team then watch it burn by people leaving. 

What I do personally as a gm is get the rookies ingrained into the culture of the LR, build the LR up with them. I tell the rookies that they won’t have a ton of points, but what they can see is the team doing well as well as an active LR environment that makes them excited and happy to be there. Sure a sim is great and it’s the reason why people are here, but a good LR makes people stay a lot more than how their player is in the sim. What I do is have them get excited for this season and next season, always having hope for the future. 


From what I see analytically, is that once you get drafted in the SHL, depending on factors the # of people getting drafted to the #of people staying halves around 3-4 seasons into it. 

Mayuu for our S43 draft class, we got drafted with 63 people, Now we have 28-35 people left active 

For S44 there was about 28 or so people drafted that were active, now there is 10-15 people left.

Nice, yeah I agree with most of what you said!
Just a personal question, did you not get bored of banking TPE for two season?

I'm not, because I already planned builds for 500 TPE, 600 TPE and 700 TPE.
