My CBA solution:

Give all the players UFA status, then install a minimum team salary of 25 million dollars. A team is allowed to spend as much as they want, but for every million that they spend above 25 they start the season down a point.

So if Detroit spends 45 million and wins 50 games they end up with 100 pts minus 20 for an 80 point season. Then if Nashville only spends 25 million they only need 40 wins and a tie to beat Detroit in the standings.

O.K this was just a joke I want to see the best teams in the playoffs, but at least its creative.

Sorry it's a kind of Bettman or Goodenow idea. Very bad sorry. Not realistic.

hey its creative i kind of like it... especially the part about all the players becoming UFAs... what would be good in some ways is a cap... and every players becomes a UFA after every season... this way they are happy... but it also floods the market with players... that is the ultimate Free Market which is what the NHLPA wants so I say lets give it to them and see how there membership likes it...
