I wonder if a luxury tax situation similar to the NBA would work? It would allow teams to go over the cap but pay a penalty to do so.
So many players are getting locked up in their later years to terrible money while young players are getting top dollar as well.
Let's say the Flamea sign Monahan to a 8 year $6M per deal. He comes out of that deal as a 29 year old. Do the Flames then give him 8 years again at 9M or let him walk?

Teams should be allowed to trade cap space (for one season).
ie) Nashville trades $10m in cap space to Rangers for a 1st round pick (or whatever they agree to). Now the Rangers have a $80m cap and Nashville has a $60m cap for that season.
