I'm really annoyed whenever stuff like this gets floated. Management incompetence mitigation shouldn't be a defacto CBA item, just hire smarter people to run your hockey teams.
So what.
Look, signing those deals is one of two things... it's a good idea or it's a bad idea. If it's a good idea then you should do it and if it's a bad idea then you let someone else make that mistake.
I think this is nothing more then the GM's collectively defacto admitting that they're nothing but a collection of short-sighted individuals with no impulse control (or you know... people who shouldn't be a top executive for billion dollar companies). Learn to suck it up, put on some big boy pants and control yourselves fellas... it's not the League or the Unions job to stop you from ####ing up. That's all on you.

The worst thing is that implementation of stupidity-proof rules eliminates one of the few places where a small market team can gain a competitive advantage: intelligence.
