The guaranteed resign doesn't imply he will sign for anything. You still have to offer a fair contract. It just means you will have several (infinite?) chances to come to an agreement. Or you can add a twist to it, such as, if by the start of the season hes not resigned, he will THEN become a franchise player, sign a 1 year deal at the top 5 average, and will NOT return to the same team next season. That way, you designate a player as your guaranteed, if you sign him to a multiyear deal, great. If not, he gets a 1 year deal and cannot be offered a franchise offer the following season and must enter the FA pool.

i dunno why i didnt think of this before how about something like this: 2 UFA resigns 1 can be to any player and you get as many offers as it takes unless the player cuts off negotiations because you are lowballing to hard and the other is only for players ____ OV and under but you only get a maximum of 3 offers. The cutoff could be anywhere from 73-76 whatever thats totally up for discussion....the purpose of it though is to cut down on the turnover that each team is going to have year to year under the current system You get to use your main UFA resign on your big fish and also have a minor UFA resign to use on a bottom nine/bottom pairing defenseman......most teams won't be able to keep their two best FAs so the market will still be solid + teams who try to make playoff pushes and are older will still be able to have roster flexibility to continue to build and improve their teams year to year I know I might seem biased but I really think that this system would create a good balance so I'm interested to hear some other opinions

PJ and I are putting the final touches of the new FA system that will be implemented this offseason.
There's going to be one guarantee'd resign of UFAs and one extra bid on a UFA. The details are being ironed out and will be posted ASAP
