Only concern after that is who determines how much the goalies should get. Half-cap avoids that a bit, but then you open some doors up, like waters getting 20M from EDM could be 40M for a goalie. FA goalies could get tens of millions up-front in theory cause it would be half value for a team with cap space, and then does retaining on the half cap do anything etc. Mostly small issues to figure out that could be handled as they come up tbh.

It's not that goalies money should count half against the cap, it's that their minimums could be halved. Also it was 35.5 million.

Give me my 70M contract!

But seriously, I like the half cap idea, and you could easily void the cap relief if the contract was over a certain amount. I want a long career and i want a 2k badge, but not if it hurts my team.
