    Neither the owners nor the players want that.

    I like the tag in theory only, in reality they seem to fail imo. I would vote for guaranteed contracts that both sides must honor. Play for pay or gtfo
    Not all fans are kosher with the current tag options, personally i don't agree with the exclusive one, the player is held hostage like a pinned pawn.

    Does it really bother you? I don’t lose any sleep over it.

    Besides, players signed off on the CBA. Have themselves to blame.

    Yeah they accepted the CBA, i was hoping for stronger representation from the players union. They could have nixed the exclusive tag. Rookie contracts keep me up at night, the owners are making out like bandits.

    Hell with that logic there shouldn’t even be a draft.

    I like the tag as a good starting point, like good faith money. We are going to tag, give you x amount for the year as we work towards a long term deal. However it doesn't seem to work that way anymore.

    What's wrong with the non-exclusive tag? Exclusive tag is like living in a communist society, either conform or to the gulag.

    You don’t get to negotiate the collective bargaining agreement in a communist country.
