The escrow system is supposed to alleviate the fiscal uncertainty of year-to-year operations. In time, there should be some kind of equilibrium in terms of where the cap will be, the volume of FA's/year... right now, everyone is getting a lot more because they're not used to this many players being available at once. It'll still be a silly season, but not as much of one. Especially if we have this many long-term contracts already in the league...

agreed, its just the way dollars get shifted around that makes no sense, its not our money so who cares , but when you pay 3 mil for a 4th-5th Dman that won`t make the difference, why bother.
