I'm surprised that doesn't happen with top tier guys then. Someone like McDavid could have given up his 3 year ELC, which he could probably have made back playing Europe, and the first RFA year. But the bidding war for a UFA 22 year old McDavid would have been massive. I think that would have increased his lifetime earnings and also let him pick where he played (and since E=NG that would have had value)
22 year old ufas are still subject to ELCs.

Everyone would have been capped at the max ELC.
