Seems to be 2 things in place here. One, economics, one less salary and 2, one less import means promoting more GB players. Having one less player might not seem like much but there's a huge difference. For teams that run into injury issues it's a nightmare . For teams that don't it's very taxing on the players having to play more minutes, and that's when injuries happen. With the increase in the talent levels the last 3 years, I wonder if this will stunt the growth of the league ? 4 line hockey is used by most leagues now so I will be interested to hear the reasoning behind the decision if in fact they go in that direction.
