I'd like to see a much lower individual player cap with extensive league wide performance bonuses written into every contract. Something 10% of cap max base salary so 7.5m right now. Then something like 1m for first in points, 700k for second, 500k for 3-5. Add smaller bonuses for things like blocked shots, hits, faceoff etc. Have the bonuses paid at year end based on revenue if necessary.
I think this would really help mitigated some of the risks teams face when signing enormous 80 million dollar contracts. I also think it would be a little more fair and merit based for the players.
Other than that, I like the cap. Not a fan of the circumvention though.

Reason: Wrong number
