All I know, they need to punish some of these teams, that used cap circumvention to get these players signed. The way to do it, is make sure that these contracts are applied to their cap, until the length of the contract is completed. No amnesty!

If they wanna leave the NHL let them go, I hear they have great planes and pilots in Russia.
