Why not make it a sliding scale for the amount of cap relief available from LTIR?
100% for the first $2m
80% for the portion between $2-3.5m
70% for the portion between $3.5-5m
50% for $5-6m
25% for $6-8m
0% over $8m
That way burying a $10m average would give a team $5.25m in cap relief. This would allow them to acquire a decent player but won't allow them to take on another $10m superstar talent.
