I think this would be considered cap circumvention or collusion. Article 26.2 specifically prohibits this.
26.2 Undisclosed Terms and Revenues.
A Club (directly or indirectly through a "Club Actor," i.e., any owner, shareholder, Club
Affiliated Entity, the NHL or third party acting at the behest of a Club) and a Player (directly or
indirectly through a "Player Actor," i.e., his Certified Agent or any other individual, any entity,
or the NHLPA, acting on behalf of the Player) may not, at any time, enter into undisclosed
agreements of any kind, express or implied, oral or written, or promises, undertakings,
representations, commitments, inducements, assurances of intent, or understandings of any kind
involving consideration of any kind to be paid, furnished or made available or guaranteed to the
Player, or Player Actor, by the Club or Club Actor either prior to, during, or after the term of the
Player's SPC.
