It will never happen, as many teams have way more than 3 right now?
Even if you grandfathered them, would it prevent teams from giving their superstar a NTC?
Players will never agree to it.
When they permitted a salary cap to exist, they got guaranteed contracts, earlier UFA and NTC as part of the bargain.
