Personally I feel the quality is getting better. It seems like junior players are more prepared and conditioned to play pro and there seems to be a lot of good young players entering the league yearly from all around the world. The Devils started their rebuild in 2019 and look at where they are today. Expansion teams are making the playoffs within a year or two simply based off taking cast-off players from around the league. I just feel that even 3rd line players today as a whole are a lot better than they used to be which is why these expansion teams are experiencing success a lot quicker.
