Salary Cap: The three things ruining the NHL (Especially Canadian Teams)

[Folignos Helmet]

i'm all for one compliance buyout a year, there should be more mechanisms for the wealthy teams to sidestep the cap, keeps a range of competitive balance and still gives a bit of wiggle for the high value franchises. To keep the PA happy you might need a buyout that pays the player more on a compliance buyout, which again would favour the wealthy teams.

I’d love to see NTC/NMC eliminated, maybe one per team for a designated franchise player to appease the player’s association. I’m not sure how to make a level playing field for the tax situation on par between States/Provinces, but the more parody between teams the better imo……

Watching Leafs in the playoffs is parody.

Rather than eliminate NMC/NTC's just make contracts limited to 3 years.

Only point 1.

No one is forced to give out NMC's or terrible contracts and teams should not be rewarded when they do so.

Point 1, however, is a legit issue that makes the playing field unequal regardless of how well your team is managed.

Shorter terms won’t save the Leafs from paying too much for too little, it’ll just mean moving on to fresher mistakes imo…..

Yes, but it means the new recycled GM has less baggage to deal with.
