Which professional sports league has parity? Also the SHL has some parity, 6 teams in the east were in the hunt for the post-season until the very end and in the west didnt the last place playoff team get in because of ROW?

Agree on the parity point- I mentioned in the previous thread that I'm all for making sure the playing field is level, but not artificial parity. My rebuild means less if the league chases ghosts over "parity". I think that there are good and bad parts to the proposal but my main support is behind:

-Contract length limits for lower-TPE players. Ideally in my mind a player will sign an entry deal, a bridge deal, and then have the choice whether to sign long-term somewhere or bounce around the league as they enter that upper segment (1000+ TPE) of players in the league.

-Removing the hometown discount for players that haven't entered regression yet.

-Adding the additional tiers up to 1300+

-Doing a one-time adjustment of contracts to meet whatever new rules are implemented, at least in terms of length.

Edit: Any of these opinions are obviously able to be changed, I'm just saying what I'm thinking right now after reading and participating in the discussion.
