if there is another fucking lock out i'm going to be pissed, this game cannot afford a lockout, and they need to address the loophole here is a tip.
may years a team can offer is 7 years, you can still use AAV and you can only offer max if the player is 32 or under, that way since most players aim for 39 years and lets face it you won't offer a terribad player
this way you can't cheat the cap, if the fucking league and ownership don't unfuck them selves the game will suffer, you know if some shit goes down ESPN and the Media will focus on that, never mind that NHL has had higher ratings last 2 years in the playoffs on a smaller network never mind the olympics.
