Very Nice, Very Evil!
Why?
You've fallen into the same false dichotomy that I described in my subsequent post. Why are the only options a draft or no parity? Why is the draft the only system that can work? Do we or do we not have a salary cap? How would there be no parity if there is still a hard cap and a maximum # of players you can get?
Are you playing dumb?
If we let the players choose where they can go, every time there is a equal offer on the table they go to the: better team, better city, tax haven state...
Some players will go chill in the Swiss league or the KHL for a year or two to wait for "rookie contract spots" to open where they want to play.
I know what you are after with this. That the well ran teams get rewarded, but this would bury the league.
