If they have something more to enjoy it could help. On the other side the reg season would be more senseless in my opinion. because a weak team could lose the most balls case for the lottery. So this all were just ideas not more. I also know that many gone inactive because of too long offseasons (Post + offseason).

If we would have something interesting during that time we would make sure that those members wouldnt go inactive.

I liked the old IHF system for that. all players they were on the cup finals werent available for the IHF and the IHF started right on the same time as the cup finals started. but what you gonna do for the prior rounds? maybe you say you can nominate after each round eliminated players and the group stage goes 20 games. After 10 games the first round is over and you can nominate there the eliminated players from the first round. after the group stage so before medal round you can nominate all players they are eliminated after the second round.

if the right members come together I believe we could work something out that the eliminated members would have some more interesting things to follow and we keep there activity. But we also need then seperate simmers because you cant force JR or CampinKiller to do the sims for IIHF or WJC as example.

Especially with the recent IIHF expansion, I definitely don't think removing players from IIHF rosters, even if they are alive in the SHL playoffs, is a good idea. For some of your smaller nations, at that point you're just replacing actives with inactive for what? And would the SMJHL playoffs also factor into this?
