Yeah, only the Canucks are allowed to get screwed.
... well, possibly the Predators. But they changed the rules to make things easier on them.
In reality, some teams can get away with murder (like Mike Richards or Marion Hossa or this) and some teams, apparently, cannot. It's extremely annoying when the playing field is not level because, for example, signing the same contract in Tampa earns you far more than it does here. But to allow these shenanigans on top of that... people are right to be mad about it.
