Quick question from a beginner that I hope to get some insight on.... I am looking around the different world leagues, and in some countries (China and Jamaica were the ones I looked at), there are teams in the top 3 of their division, that are all, or almost all NPC players at level 10.

Instead of competing for second or third line time with a Canadian team, would it be wise for a new player to join one of these teams on their first contract instead? It seems to me that a level 17 player would probably get first line minutes, and probably be a top scorer against a bunch of level 10 goalies, which could really help with their development.

Any thoughts?
