Scrap the draft and make them all UFAs every year with no restrictions on contracts other then what is currently in place
We have a cap - bad teams who aren’t spending would have the most $$ to sign picks and bad teams that are spending to the cap are poorly managed and don’t deserve the best draft eligible players
Might need a bit of tweaking for the tax situation in certain countries and states but that’s a general problem
Other than cost control for owners now that there is a cap why do we need a draft ? If the Flames want to throw 10$ million at the top draft eligible players why shouldn’t they be able too
Removes any tanking other then trading players with salary which would facilitate quicker rebuilds for well managed teams
