I wouldn't mind seeing the minor league roster increase. NHL prospects on average can take a long time to develop and having more spots would allow GMs to get a longer look at their prospects before deciding to keep or cut the player. Also more spots would give rebuilding teams the ability to place their prospects on their minor league roster and use their NHL roster to sign more NHL players to compete right away. I think this would help a team like Florida compete more in the short term while allowing them to build for the long- term at the same time. With the current amount of roster spots there is little incentive for Florida to keep a semi decent older player over a prospect. With more minor league roster spaces I think parity would increase across the league.
