Give them 1 year of RFA so now 6 years of service in the NHL. That's a ELC and bridge deal and off to UFA you go or you can stay 4 year term.
All you see now in the NHL is a bunch of rumours and no movement, and you can attribute those long deals, capped out league, and NTC.

Wait so you want the players to give up NTC/NMC plus have to accept shorter term deals? That’s not going to happen. The teams aren’t going to want them to get to UFA earlier either. If anything teams are going to fight against players working the system to leave as early as they can. That’s a bigger issue to the owners than NTC/NMC, if the teams cared about NTC/NMC they wouldn’t give them out.
