I believe cap hit is why the league wants to allow the expansion team(s) to draft younger players, but this isn't why. The only contracts existing teams will want to expose are the overvalued, high priced players or the useless overpaid fourth liners. The salary cap only works because of the mixture of high priced players and value contracts. Vegas (and possibly Quebec) will need access to value players to fit into the system.
