I could see some agents looking at this as a mechanism to drag salaries and keep players from getting opportunity to earn the big bridge contract like the Oilers give out like candy. Agents can have a lot of sway over players and they only get paid when the player gets paid. Teams that don't pay, or have restrictive practices may have agents encourage their players to show little to no interest in the certain teams. I would hate to see Calgary turn into one of those teams.

Where did you come up with some of this?
