I agree with you on that. My only counter argument is that teams have started to show the prepotency to acquire contracts and then use LTIR to deal with their drama later or somehow manage to make it all work (vegas, TB, etc.) When a player like Gaudreau becomes available (especially after the year he is having), teams will magically have "cap room". So it may not be all 31 teams but I wouldn't be shocked if 25 teams were lining up for their elevator pitch.
