I dont see why the owners want to lower the UFA age. If they really are trying to save the league wouldnt they want it raised so that the riduclous bidding wars they have on certain players dont happen.
Instead of trying to put in a cap could they not try and make some changes to UFA that would reduce the number of players getting riduclous UFA offers from the owners. Players go from making like 3 mil a season to 10 when they hit 31 so maybe they could eliminate it or change it to a limited free agency where if a team signs a player for more than X dollars over his last salary they have to pay a fee. Sort of like a mini luxury tax on each salary. The fees collected from signing players can be destributed amongst the Bottom feeders of the league so they may use these fees to try and sign UFA's of their own.
it could get kind of complicated but since the NHLPA has agreed to a luxury tax system i think they could agree to it. This gives the owners a measure of control over costs and puts it up to the owners to police themsleves with their over-spending.
I don't know what you guys think but im so bored with no hockey i just want it back
