I think that's the best way. Lock in the cap hit at the tax rate when they sign. Then it's the same as if some player signs a long term deal that bites the team in the end when the cap goes down. There's no additional risk.
We all know that this will never happen, but it's kind of fun to think about it.
For some teams the difference would be huge. Montreal, Toronto or Ottawa would essentially be able to afford an additional Ovechkin, Kopitar, or Subban. The Flames or Oilers would only be able to get an additional Monahan.
The difference between an Ontario team (the worst) and Florida/Texas (the best) is $10.1 million. That's nuts.
