Would really make things interesting (if there is less control)
for the guys that come out hot out of the gate, this gets them to FA sooner, but also less of a chance for guys to prove themselves…
I would anticipate with less cost controlled years, more clubs (and potentially players) seeing a mutual benefit to locking in pre-majors service deals.
all be told, might be a gravitational shift that puts more $$ in the pockets of younger players but also far less potential for 30+ year old players to cash in unless they are truly elite. I actually prefer paying on potential rather than what was done in the past.
