The point is there is no such thing in the CPHL as a "rental player" because UFAs are basically more expensive RFAs because we can re-sign anyone we want. This allows more bigger names in the UFA pool and a more realistic feel to the CPHL because NHL teams can never keep all their UFAs. I guess this system is to benefit the bottom feeder teams more because they should technically have the cap room and they would be able to acquire some bigger names instead of wait 3 years for their team to be competitive.
pending UFA prices are way to high which should not be the case. When trade talks start on a pending UFA they go like this:
GM A - "How about this, this and this for player X"
GM B - "No way, he is worth more then that"
GM A - "But hes a pending UFA"
GM B - "So? he is getting a grid deal regardless"
we would start to see pending UFA prices lower so we would see a 63-66 OVR type player go for a 2nd and 3rd rounder and that would benefit both teams. The one getting the player gets a no risk player for a playoff run and the other team gets 2 picks which will be prospects.
