I hate to see a team lose their first round pick to RFA, especially teams in the middle of rebuilding like New York, Dallas, and Minnesota. I think this compensation package will be good for everyone.
2 ways have to stay as it makes for a realistic environment with the 40 GP stipulation
Agree but for prospects only, not for veteran free agents.
Obviously if they are over 40 GP they can't sign 2-way
Guess what I am trying to say is that I think draftees should be the only ones eligible for 2-way contracts.....not free agents, regardless of how few games they have played. The new rule forcing FA's to sign a min 2 year deal for a 2-way helps but in context of the RFA conversation I view 2-way FA contracts as a loophole that will be systematically exploited to capitalize on the RFA bid matching clause. Limiting 2-way contracts to draftees is elegant as it makes draft choices even more valued.Other then that, I was trying to agree with you.
I understand what you are saying but, if BY is trying to replicate the NHL then the system in place for 2-ways would need to stay.
