It has happened a lot in the last few years where a player has a few good seasons, enters free agency, signs a lucrative deal, and then starts to suck. David Clarkson, Chris Stewart, Mike Richards, and Ville Leino are a few. If anything is ruining the league it is these players that essentially create dead cap space for teams, thus hindering their competitiveness and wasting Millions of dollars.
I don't believe it is the GMs fault entirely, because they are under pressure from owners to win. But no matter whose fault it is, it is the fans who suffer, because they have to deal with these terrible players on the ice realizing that their money is going into their pockets.
The 8 year contract limit was a step in the right direction, but the League needs to take more action. Contracts should be a lot more liquid. Maybe a compliance buyout can be used once every two years or something. Anyway that is my best idea as of now. What are your thoughts?
