Not sure why this wouldn't work.

The PA would never, ever agree to this. We'd lose another season, at least, if this was a hill the league was willing to die on.

How would it apply to a guy who's traded? Or retained salaries? The same?

Sure, but at what cost? Which defensemen on longer term affordable deals will teams be looking to move for cap considerations?

The PA likely would agree to it, as the salary cap has always gone up.

True, but he's only signed for one year and will cost you some assets.
Plus, if cap space is tight all around, the price for UFA's goes down.

That is far from certain. In fact, I would bet against it happening.

Sounds like the salary cap announcement delayed until tonight or even Sunday. Understandably, a lot for the NHLPA to weigh internally.

Daly just said he hopes to have the final number announced before the end of the Draft (it's currently mid-way through the 5th round).

It seems kind of pointless to even use any growth factor at that point. The difference can't even pay league minimum to one player.
If the players had used the full 5% growth factor, the cap would have been over $85 million.

I am guessing at this point it is done out of principle: the NHLPA use the escalator because they have always used the escalator.

It was probably just to get the cap to a round number. Without it, the cap would have been something like $81.09 million.

I wonder if this leads to some mid-tier UFAs signing lower value short term deals.

Not that every team is affected by this...but that is $30-45M less for UFAs/RFAs this year than expected. Duhatshek on the radio a week or two made the point that if you are a middling UFA, you want to take a good offer as early as you can as there will be a few left without a seat this year. I am beginning to think he is right and that those that dont take whatever offer they get on July 1 may struggle to find employment after July 2nd.

Further to this...I wonder if the Hayes contract is an outlier looking back in September.

The cap could have moved to 86 million and that contract would still be an outlier.
