Now in the 3rd year with Detroit and I'm the big favorite to win the stanley cup, just cos I accumulated a decent prospect pool and could sign pretty much all big UFAs available. And that just had the cap space to do so cos I could get rid of each and every unfavorable contracts (many with no movement clauses).
In my opinion this just makes it too easy to turn franchises around, at the same time it is low risk to sign older UFA's to longer contracts, somebody will just pick eventually them up even if they are declining.
