Like I tryed to highlight in my title, this is not anything I heard but just my own suggestion.
Would you guys like to see a rule that would aloud teams to release 1 or 2 players from their team with contract that they would not like anymore. They would have nothing to give to the players, no buyout, just release.
That would help some teams that have some very bad contracts to get under the cap. It would only be an exeption for this year, not every year. Like MTL could release Craig Rivet who has 3 mil$ for next year and 3.5 mil$ the other. A team like TOR to release Nolan and maybe Belfour, NYI-Yashin, NYR-Holik etc...
These players would become UFA(they like that don't they )
It could count against the cap in some way or for others years to come. a little like the NFL does when a team release a player.
Now, that would be another BIG gave by the players to aloud this. What would it cost to the owners to get something like this from the players and Do you guys like the idea or would it be completly stupid.
