SHL teams are too deep. Why would someone want to be a 4th line grinder when they could be a top 6 player on their SMJHL team and still gain the same amount of TPE? SHL send downs can still participate in SHL point tasks and can use the SHL weekly training while still banking anything past 350 TPE.

Perhaps if you're sent down you should only be allowed to use the SMJHL training (+3 TPE) rather than the +5 training? Would give some sort of incentive to stay up I suppose. Or don't allow them to bank their TPE? Someone who gets drafted with 330 TPE would be more inclined to stay in the SHL because if they go back to their SMJHL team they can only gain 20 more TPE over the course of the season. On the flip side of that, someone who is drafted with TPE in the mid-200's still has a lot of "development" to do and would benefit the most from going back down to juniors.

I don't think it's a good idea to force rookies that have higher TPE into staying up.
If it's more enjoyable for them to play bigger minutes in juniors, then I don't see a problem with it.
Expansion will lead to more true rookies.
