Nik the Trik said:If I could make any one change to the league as it currently exists I think it would be a RFA system closer to what the NBA's got going on. Do away with compensation but still give teams the right to match. All the current system does is divert money from good young players to UFAs.

I think the NHLPA wouldn't care as there are probably benefits to having more players being bid on in an open market.
The owners, sure, would hate sacrificing control but it's not like they'd end up paying their teams more or less. They'd just actually be paying for performance. Who does it serve for Anaheim to be paying Kesler almost 7 million and Lindholm just over 5 vs. the other way around.

He won't touch $6mil without averaging like 45-ish points in the next 3 seasons. Something between Demers ($4.5mil) and Niskanen ($5.75mil) seems likely. But that's still pretty far away.
