Its paywall so here is the gist:
1. Signing bonus limits - limit how much of the player's compensation can be paid out in signing bonuses e.g. maximum 50% of the contract's total value can be signing bonuses
2. Flattening contract annual salaries - players will be paid a flat fee per year with no variance per year. (i.e. no front loading or back loading contracts or low salary lockout protection years)
3. Contract term limits - want 5 year limits. maybe 7 years if re-signing own player
4. Reforming trade protection clauses - want to change when players are eligible for NTC/NMC (e.g. 30 years old). Maybe do a service type model like in the MLB where if a player has spent x amount of time with a club they can veto a trade.
5. Fixing salary arbitration - do baseball style where arbitrator has to choose the player or team's demand instead of being able to split the difference
6. Fixing LTIR - make players who go on LTIR no longer count against the cap to make calculations and system easier to understand.
7. Compensatory draft picks - Compensatory draft picks for 2nd and 3rd round picks that don't sign similar to the current rules for 1st round picks. Also proposed compensatory draft picks for drafted NCAA players that go to UFA and compensatory draft picks for UFAs that leave teams and go for the free market (i.e. would soften the blow for teams that decide not to sell and keep their pending UFAs for a playoff run).
