I have a question. Why do we allow players after a certain age to sign max contracts? Anyone can just offer a player at say age 39 (I chose my age since I'd be retiring soon after a long hall of fame career) a max 4 year / 32 million salary then be awarded the player and then walk away after said player retires the next season. That team now has no obligation to pay any salary and probably just stole a player by offering a longer contract that they knew they would most likely not have to fullfil.
I say once a certain age is reached and a player is a UFA only 1 year contracts be allowed. Just a thought.
You should bug the NHLPA about that one.
