that sounds interesting pandar, but idk how to enforce something like that when all we can do is set the desired playing time.

Plus power plays/penalty kills can vary the time as well.

Not sure, tbh. Could be something where we start based on desired numbers, and then GMs have to tweak percentages or line compositions to stay under the cap. Numbers would then be confirmed at the end of the season, and GMs who are found to be out of compliance face a penalty in the following season (e.g. Top TPE player of offending category is suspended for a game). Again, just spit-balling. It would be too tough to monitor on a rolling basis, but as a 1-time check at the end of the season, it wouldn't be too bad, I don't think.



This would also add an element of strategy. If GMs see that they're having a hard time complying down the stretch, they might have to bench players/drastically reduce minutes to avoid the penalty. So they could choose to play their top players less early in the season and save them for playoff pushes or "rest" them against weaker opponents where they're not needed as badly.
