I see the game going this direction as well.
Superstar players are going to start taking more control over where they play and showing less loyalty, like they do in the NBA. Hockey still has a little but if loyalty code to it, but that's changing.
Small market teams will have to win with drafted talent before they take off for bigger markets. We need a Giannis.
