This is a bullshit move. Not that it would be a bad thing, but this is a deal made public to scare the players into making a deal on the Salary Cap.
For this deal to go fwd EVERY team owner would have to go for it, sure the owners of the Flames and/or the Nasville Whatevers would be happy to take their $90 mil and run... but it's pretty unlikely that Toronto or Detroit would ever get the $200 mil they'd be asking for. This would never work with 3 or 4 "indy" teams.
So if anything this is planned to scare the players, cause if it did ever work the players would see a huge drop in Salaries and there would be nothing they could do about it. Not getting paid well enough by your small market team Iginla? Too bad, the large market teams have the same owner.
Anyway, I think it would be cool as it would make the leauge more competitive... but it's far to improbable.
