If you really fight it and are the Esa's , the Garbanzo's, you can be a third liner in your 22nd season. Note that should be as rare as Jagr. Maybe 1 person every few generations since that's who I based this off of he is an outlier. Have it escalate from 10 to higher % every season of regression.

This solves 2 problems, it frees up top lines on teams for new blood to get "star" minutes and opportunities. This makes the top tpe earners in their classes happy. You grandfather in people starting let's say next season, if they created by S47 they follow current regression and can chase all time records. This makes those people happy and no reason to complain. This also helps the mid-low tier players less active, who the PT cap is made for, since those top lines free up from the old folks and they get more significant minutes.

The whole idea is that you circulate players more by making a harsher realistic regression and as such you appease all 3 groups of people the current superstars, upcoming stars who want no PT cap so they can shine, and lower tier guys who want an opportunity to perform decently in the shl.


That's the discussion head office should be having imo.

I don't disagree with the sentiment but imo the PT cap does not accomplish what it's meant to do.
