What's up everyone, how are you? I am well.
Wondering what we think if we made buyouts like the NHL and make them last for double the length of the remaining contract?
Honestly, this comes from me having a ton of cap room and being willing to take guys with massive contracts that have 1 year left. I figure I could make someone pay to give them to me because I can afford to buy them out for the season...
Making it last double the length gives people more insentive to think about the contracts their handing out, and taking on bad contracts in a cap dump. It also gives people with cap space the opportunity to get more value out of taking on a bad contract (right now, someone can easily just buyout a 1 year contract instead of giving up even a 2nd round pick).
Of course, people can put the player into the minors, but the cap hit is more for shorter term.
Would love to hear people's thoughts
