Not sure if this is beginning to creep into hockey but in football one of the effects of the transfer portal is teams are cutting players and replacing with others if their play isn't up to par.

But for hockey it's too early to tell. There is potentially 'the grass isn't always greener' factor for some of the kids, and also the homesick in a foreign country angle which does affect some kids.
