Against the 350 Cap.

To consider this effectively, consider a SMJHL team's economy of scale nowadays compared to 10 seasons ago. They used to encourage every rookie by having them work hard all year to reach the cap which would absolutely guarantee them a starting position. Now, entire SMJHL teams are filled with 350-capped players because their SHL teams have no need for them yet. More new people won't see a point in grinding for 8 months to see marginally more time, and veterans like me will even lose interest when chemistry isn't great and I'm stuck with the same built players game-in and game-out. It's annoying. Make it 500.
