There won't be any future American superstars refusing to sign with NYR/BOS/CHI/SUNBELT TEAM and choosing to sign with CGY/WIN/OTT/ETC..
Sign your damn ELC and put your time in with the team that drafted you, build your value and then if you still want to leave then they can trade you when you actually have proven NHL value and can return the team that drafted you an equally aged/valued player or multiple picks/prospects.

They need to force the teams to sign all their draft picks too. Get rid of the 50 contract max. Too many kids put in the effort, get drafted and then do not get a contract. Teams have to offer all draft picks contracts and draft picks can only sign with the teams they draft them for X years. Put in standardized contracts and bonuses for each round of the draft .
