The most complicated part is getting the NHLPA to agree, since the cap system is part of the CBA.
First you have to sell the changes to the lawyers running the PA, who take professional pride in screwing the owners however and whenever they can – whether it benefits the union members or not.
Then you have to get the approval of the players for a change to a system they already can't wrap their heads around. Remember, some of these guys have trouble counting to six, as shown by the prevalence of penalties for too many men.
