You’d think teams would prefer to remove the term limits altogether. I’m sure Chicago would love to be able to re-sign Connor bedard to a 10+ year deal at today’s rates/cap hit limits instead of doing an 8 year deal and then having to re-sign him for $5M more annually on the next deal as the cap goes up. Sure the other side of the argument is that the player might decline, but as has already been mentioned the GMs don’t need to offer a contract length that they don’t want to. If another team wants to sign them for that term, why shouldn’t they be able to?
