I look at the graph in the OP and the top nine teams are GMs that have been playing in the CPHL for a long time. In the 2.5 years since I joined there are 12 teams with new GMs; with some teams having multiple new GMs in that time period (4 teams).

To me it speaks to the experience the established GMs have and the eagerness for a new GM to start a rebuild by trading away established stars or trade picks to try to be competitive immediately. Some teams are essentially gutted when a new GM starts. NYI and Chicago were left with few prospects, limited AHL options, and a poor CPHL team. It's going to take years to build a team from scratch.

Even as a 'have not' team, I would not be in favor of a parity draft. I would rather change ELC to two years to get more players active, forcing GMs to trade away established players to make room or make more B level prospects available via free agency.
