But you are correct, all of the owners won't get aboard with it, as the richest teams like having it the way it is as it gives them an advantage.
The owners wouldn't be sitting out, high profile UFA's would. There would still be plenty of players taking 4 year deals, the league wouldn't shut down just because a handful of free agents don't get long term deals. The problem is some idiot like Katz would break away and extend Draisaitl for 8 years and it would all fall apart. Owners will always stab eachother in the back to get an edge.
