Because of the fact that there is a still a salary cap, the shifting of more money early to players will just create more parity in the league as teams cannot have premium players for any real length of time cheaply.

Draft picks will become even more valuable as teams will need cheap players for the bottom 6 etc.

And with more parity (as the best teams will not be as good as teams were in the past), you'll see more bubble teams really contend for the Stanley Cup.

The theory of "just make the playoffs and anything can happen" will become truer and truer.
Maybe.

Or maybe you will learn whether 10 + 1 + 1 is greater or less than 7 + 3 + 2

And the market will adjust accordingly
