With you being the best team I don't think switching to those teams helps anything haha, but we do appreciate it. I'm thinking more of the bottom teams (Ducks, Avs, Hurricanes, Wild) so that we don't have as much top tier talent in FA. However I'm not a fan of switching rosters, but if that'll help some of the problems with FA I'm ok with it.
If we do contract, I'd like to open up to a one time mass logo switch for anyone that would want to, give owners a chance to take the logo of their favorite team if it's available.
If we are talking possible teams for contraction, I would be against it if the teams were NYR and DET.
I am not meaning to single anyone out but I feel (looking at current rosters) that Carolina and Anaheim would be the 2 most logical teams due to contract. 2 of the bottom 3 teams, some solid players on these rosters but no one that I believe will completely explode the free agent market if we went that route and no game breakers like Draistal or MacKinnon that would be team changing if they were in a reverse draft.
I know this is suppose to be only about whether we would want to do contraction or not but in regards to the max contract in free agency, you could not offer someone a current max contract of $10m for 1 year unless you won it with a bid of $10m. The max cut off contract current is $10m for 5 years or a bid of $50m, its still tough to dish out that amount but some will do that as well.
I also didn't see the teams that are being talked about contraction prior to my previous post. Before possible contract would anyone like to move open to these 2 teams. They were both playoff teams and both teams have a good core and good goaltenders for use. The reverse draft order would then cause some possible issues with our 3 goalie max rule.
For example if I was able to land: Andrei Vasilevskiy, $3.8m (2019-20), I would want him over say Joonas Korpisalo, $3.2m (2022-23) but if there was no free drop or I had to make my free drop prior to the draft, I wouldn't know if I could even select him or not or possibly risk dropping Korpisalo to maybe land another tender in the draft.
