Is anyone else seeing this in their games?

I'm in 2031 in my game and one thing that I have noticed is that bench players ability/potential are taking a beating.

I have had quite a few new to the team 3-4 players fall off to 2-3 by December. Same with 3-3 players that go to 2.5 or 2. They are bench players, but they appear to be heavily punished for not getting icetime. I've never seen this happen and it's quite frustrating.

How are these players somehow forgetting how to skate just because they aren't seeing regular ice time? That is the role of players in their skill range; but in a few months they fall off to worthlessness. I've never seen a player's ratings be so volitile in such a short amount of time.
