I'd go for this simply because it would do 2 things that I feel are badly needed:
1) Condensing the pro leagues would allow for the mediocre / gut job teams to be removed, and make the league more competitive as a whole
2) Lowering the number of teams that make World League every year would mean that WL teams stay a bit more stable. Those teams that are 9th seeds don't get screwed as bad etc. but the teams that are one and done still get booted out if they are outgunned
however, there might need to be a change in how the regional pro league would promote to the PRO league if you are reducing the number of Pro Leagues
