At the GM meetings, apparently Brian Burke is going to bring up the possibility of changing the CBA to allow teams to eat salary in a trade. I don't think that's a horrible idea, but from what I understood it sounded like the salary the team eats wouldn't count against the cap. It doesn't say specifically whether it would or not, but they talk about the rich teams being able to take advantage of it more and Burke proposing a maximum amount of money for a team to eat total.
Did I miss something or is this the impression other get as well? And your thoughts on it?
