The formula in WHL to help re-sign free agents was really helpful with UFA, allowing a team to pay them what they are worth based on performance, rating, etc, regardless of their current salary.
Two way contracts would have to be manually managed. That's just too much work in my opinion.
Making a strict rule on free agency (not allowing teams to send players to the minors who make more than $1 mill, for example), will cause teams to bid on players they can afford and want to play. There was a WHL rule about this too (I dont remember exact terms)
So an offer of 1 year, $5 mill can win instead of a 4 year, $20 mill offer when that team plans on stashing the player in the minors in years 2-4.

Leafs I totally agree with what you are saying, and I don't mind rules changing, however things can be done to limit the effects on GM's who have based their trades upon the current rules!
For instance if we do implement a rule regarding burying players in the farm... then maybe at the bare minimum GM's who have players like Brain Campbell should be given the opportunity to release them or lower their contracts at no extra cost.

as long as teams stay under the cap it doesn't really bother me that much....well unless the Blues gm does it...then I want to whine and call for his head on a pike
