This will be a disaster , brutal for the league
Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season
- Thread starter GGpX
- Start date
The years is currently 2x remaining years
Whatever changes are done , your simply giving more ammunition to the agents
Its simple ....stop handing out fucked up contracts
If your stupid enough to give Gally and Price 20% of the cap , its all on the regime
If you give player X who is 70 point player now 8x 8 at 29 years of age dont bitch that years 5-8 look like shit , they were most likely going to be shit as GGPX stated over and over .
Common sense is 2/3 of your solution
the owners cannot control themselves, it is not up to the players to agree to something the owners will break before the ink is dry.
it works for the NBA.
NBA has way more flexibilty to move contracts and manage your business
League shits piles of money and rules to go into luxury taxes
NHL is pee wee league in comparison
I am not saying for players to do anything , simply owners to stop being fucken morons
we could have a luxury tax too but the owners claim not to want it

Yes, another team that has had a boatload of draft picks and no clue what to do with them. There is no sign any progress is being made there either. If you don't have the right management or approach those kind of "rebuilds" can last for generations.

My opinion of rebuilds is simple: There is no end in sight until you figure out a way to get your franchise center and/or franchise d-man. Ideally both, but at least one of the two. Buffalo got Eichel, which looked like a franchise center, but unfortunately he's in the Tavares level. Really awesome player, but not good enough on his own to take the next step. Buffalo's got their franchise d-man in Dahlin and now they can start planning for the future.
That doesn't guarantee anything, I grant you, because bad management teams like Columbus will find new ways of fucking it up. Columbus might have their franchise center in Fantilli, but the way they're doing things...
The faster Jarno gets fired, the sooner they'll be able to try turning things around.

I don’t think you get it. Owners makes stupid decisions all the time. All they need is a way to get out of it, and let the players have a bit of their share. Fair buyouts are the way to go.
Players have more than their share of the pie
Simply put make better decisions to avoid this shit
Yes, your gonna fuck up from time to time
But Gally , Price , and other contracts should never be handed out and don't need an exit path to ease the pain
These are lunacy deals 5 minutes after the ink dries.

So why do GMs keep giving out those contracts if it’s so simple then? It’s not going to stop by itself
Cause their fucken stupid trying to save their jobs that will get them fired anyway
WTF is a washed up Gally, Alzner , or giving term to Hoffman going to do to save your ass
It is common sense , your doomed from day 1

Not playing around anymore.
No other viable choice in their minds. They go with the devil they know. Pretty standard for people.
Sure but do it for a difference maker and deal with the cap later
Viable options for Gally , Hoffman , and others are 1-1.5 mil UFA vets left out in the July frenzy

exactly....if teams want to stay competitive but don't have elite players, by definition they will have to overpay for their own B+ talent
I would really like a tax differential built in for the Canadian based teams but that won't happen.
