Most of the big changes seem to benefit the owners, not the players, especially when it comes to contracts and long-term earnings.
This feels like a poor deal for the NHLPA

Except for a cap that goes from $97 to $104 to $113 mil. Extra regular season games will help revenue too.
As a player you can't have a lockout when the cap is going up that fast. 4 years is a nice length, cap starts to flatten then the players can use that to their advantage next time.
