Might just be a parity thing -- like the salary cap in the playoffs. Doesn't allow the have teams with the big budgets to load up on double-retention players. Otherwise, I can't see the point.
Lined up with the salary cap going up so the NHL probably felt the increased cap would address some of the inflexibility this creates.
