It will certainly help the Flames. They won't be forced to dish out 8 or 7 year deals to retain or attract players that should otherwise be getting 5/6 year deals due to their age or mileage.
The Flames have been getting in trouble be too often signing players to deals that are too long. I don't see any negative to this whatsoever.
Dislike the 84 game change. Two more useless games down the stretch sounds like it will be awful. I'd much rather have had it reduced to 80 games.
