IMO the majority of Vet GMs would need to be willing to do this otherwise there are better options. I doubt most would want too and I get it. Maybe I am too old to rebuild again!
I think the following could work:
Expansion Option:
1. Top Teams required to expose more players; non UFA.
2. 'Asset poor' teams are included in the expansion draft (every 2nd round?)
3. 'Asset Poor' teams expose less players and only players prior to start of draft are eligible so new teams don't take players they just acquired
Problem we solve is:
We improve asset poor teams
We get more overall balance in the league
We reintroduce the Jets and Bruins
