Renaud Lavoie on the Fan 960 today was talking about how the GMs are looking at these issues in Boca Raton. He suggested that each team might be required to expose a group of players with a certain total cap hit (or greater). This would prevent the teams from exposing nothing but minimum-wage plugs, and would help the expansion team(s) reach the cap floor without battling for UFA scraps.

Of course, every team would then expose its very worst contracts to try to dump them via the expansion draft, but that's probably going to happen anyway.
