I’m reading multiple agents talking about collusion and hearing about players boycotting ST (which they legally cannot do) due to the slowdown in the FA market. Well, I’m sorry, but you guys agreed to this CBA. The penalties attached to QO signees are even more onerous. Yes a 1st round loss is big, but now a 2nd rounder, a 5th rounder and huge INtL money forfeitures to sign a QO’d FA are more than most teams are willing to fork over, especially when considering now that the teams will then have to pay the contract and the taxes associated with it. The CBA disproportionately discriminated against the big market clubs. Now, all of the large markets outside of Boston are trying to stay away from the lux tax cap because next years FAs are ridiculous and also the large market clubs are the ones who get hurt the most with lost INTL funds since they’re the most active down in the DR and VZ. So you have LA, NYY, CHC and other large market clubs on the sideline waiting for next offseason. You’re got other large markets not wanting to be penalized for signing players and now the players are bitching? You agreed to this CBA. Now you have to live with it
